Research Spotlight on the Wiedemann-Franz law now published in The Photon.

The Fall 2008 Workshop on Iron-Pnictide superconductors has been announced and is open for registration. This ICAM-sponsored event will be held at the University of Maryland, College Park and will bring together the leading experts in this quickly evolving field of research.

Our dilution refrigerator has reached an official base temperature of 10 mK ! Work is under way to implement an experimental platform to utilize this new capability in CNAM for low temperature studies.

Report on Quantum Oscillations experiments through the composition-tuned Quantum Critical Point in the Ce-based '115' heavy-fermion system now published in  Physical Review Letters.

Study of Kondo Lattice Coherence in CeCoIn₅ published in Nature Physics.

Report of Violation of the Wiedemann-Franz Law at a Quantum Critical Point published in Science (1 June, 2007).

Graduate and Undergraduate Student Positions are available highly motivated individuals to join our efforts to design, implement and utilize a world-class fully rotational magnetothermal vector field experiment. Students will develop expertise in performing ultra-low temperature thermal transport and thermodynamic measurements of exotic superconductors, metals and magnetic compounds, and will learn the "non-textbook" side of condensed matter physics. They will also utilize the CNAM central facilities to grow, characterize and study theses systems both in single-crystal and thin-film form. Applicants should send a summary of their interests in condensed matter physics and any relevant laboratory experience to me at the email address below.
