Research Interests
Synthesis, structure, electronic structure, transport- and magnetic properties of low-dimensional materials such as quantum wires, surfaces, interfaces, and thin film materials including multilayers and superlattices. Correlated electron systems, cooperative phenomena, phase transitions. Specific techniques include scanning-probe microscopy, electron spectroscopy, molecular beam epitaxy, and in-situ electrical transport measurements.
