Our group studies electronic materials, using NMR
spectroscopy, scanning force microscopy, magnetic measurements, and other techniques. We have
been studying ordered
intermetallic alloys, in order to better understand the electronic and
magnetic
features of such materials. Some of our new work focuses on group-IV
clathrates.
We have been synthesizing new ferromagnetic
materials.
Facilities include a solid state wide-line NMR spectrometer with 9T
superconducting magnet (pictured with
Weiping Gou), operating from 2 K to 550 K, and a wide range of sample preparation facilities and cryostats
for transport and magnetization
studies. Two SPM systems are available: a
thermomicroscopes
(now Veeco) piezolever AFM system, with a separate cryogenic scan head,
and
a Nanotec system, with new
fiber-interferometer
cryogenic head intended for manipulation of nanoscale magnets. Shared
facilities include a Quantum Design SQUID magnetometer, Quantum Design
PPMS system, a Nanomagnetics scanning hall probe system.
