Experimental Condensed Matter Physics Research

Our group studies electronic materials, using NMR spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, computational methods, 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.

Facilities include a solid state wide-line NMR spectrometer with 9T superconducting magnet, operating from 2 K to 550 K, and a wide range of sample preparation facilities and cryostats for transport and magnetization studies. Shared facilities include a Quantum Design SQUID magnetometer, Quantum Design PPMS system, a Nanomagnetics scanning hall probe system.
