Physics and Techniques for the Investigation of the Properties of Ultra Small Systems

Abstract

This program is directed toward the study of transport and non- equilibrium thermal effects in diverse miniaturized systems at low temperatures. The research fabricates and probes the behavior of materials without affecting their internal structure. The techniques extend our ability to characterize materials as well as to understand the effects of technology used in patterning and fabricating small devices. The techniques developed in this research should prove to be useful for the non-destructive evaluation of the properties of materials as well as for the design of miniaturized superconducting devices. Keywords: Low temperature; Superconductivity; Magnetoresistance.
