Nanostructures and Condensed Matter Research
Dr. Bruce Ackerson's research deals with the non-equilibrium structure of fluids and colloidal suspensions. Recently his interest has turned to developing and testing strategies in science education which will afford students more immediate and better insights into physics and other sciences.
Dr. Robert Hauenstein studies the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth and characterization of semiconductor films and heterostructures.
The group led by Dr. John Mintmire continues studies of single- and multi-walled nanotubes and other nanostructures using density functional theory.
Dr. Jacques Perk studies thermodynamic quantities, phase transitions, and correlation functions of exactly solvable models capturing phenomena in real physical systems.
Dr. James Wicksted employs Raman and Raman spectroscopies to study the mechanical, electrical and optical properties of carbon nanotubes and other nano, bio and amorphous materials.
Dr. Xincheng Xie is applying many-body theory to study fundamental phenomena of solids and nanomaterials such as their electronic transport properties. Dr. Xie recently was recognized as one of the outstanding theoretical physicists worldwide by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
