Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Condensed Matter – experimental, specifically interested in studying the thermodynamics of gas adsorption on solid surfaces employing low temperature techniques to explore surface adsorption energy, surface phases and phase transitions. Such studies offer insight into gas-solid interaction in heterogeneous catalysis and gas physisorption/ chemisorption in solids. Of secondary interest is modeling gas-solid interaction using Zacros, a computational chemistry software.
Please contact me after you have completed sophomore physics courses (BPHYS231, 224) for all projects except those which involve electronic circuits and data acquisition.
If you are interested in building circuits and instruments, please contact when you are registered for analog and digital circuits (BPHYS431 and 432) courses.
