Transport and Superconducting Tunneling Studies of Thin Films of Heavy Fermion Materials

建议制备重费米子材料的薄膜，并研究其在强磁场下的输运特性；将研究Ce化合物和铀的化合物。重费米子材料表现出非凡的电学性质，有些材料表现出超导电性。对薄膜的测量应该会对这些极不寻常的材料的行为提供有价值的见解。

It is proposed to fabricate thin films of heavy-fermion materials and study their transport properties when subjected to strong magnetic fields; compounds of cerium and of uranium will be examined. Heavy-fermion materials show extraordinary electronic properties, some exhibit superconductivity. Measurements on thin films should give valuable insights into the behavior of these highly unusual materials.
