CAREER: Spin-Injection in Heterostructures of Perovskite Oxides

9876266 Li这个CAREER项目是一个关于钙钛矿铁磁（FM）/顺磁（PM）异质结构中自旋注入的综合研究和教育工作，以研究PM层中的自旋输运和极化自旋效应。 重点是两个主要领域：研究，在超导状态下，注入的自旋与超导凝聚体的相互作用，在正常状态下，自旋扩散和自旋电导率。 这些研究的结果将是高Tc超导材料的自旋扩散长度、弛豫时间T2和自旋电阻的测量值。研究生和博士后研究助理将在凝聚态物理/材料科学的前沿领域进行培训，以构成21世纪世纪的下一代研究人员和工程师。 将在研究和教育之间建立联系，主要重点是改进物理学入门课程。这个职业生涯项目涉及研究和教育计划。 这项研究将集中在尚未研究的电子在技术上重要的材料中的行为特性。 研究生和博士后研究助理将在凝聚态物理/材料科学的前沿领域进行培训，以构成21世纪世纪的下一代研究人员和工程师。 教育计划试图在研究和教育之间建立联系。 教学活动包括重点改进具有积极学习成分的入门物理课程，并将实际研究经验引入本科实验室课程。

9876266Li This CAREER project is an integrated research and education effort on spin-injection in perovskite ferromagnetic(FM)/paramagnetic(PM) heterostructures in order to investigate the spin transport and polarized-spin effects in a PM layer. The focus is on two main areas: the study, in the superconducting state, of the interaction of the injjected spins with a superconducting condensate and, in the normal state, the spin diffusion and spin conductivity. The results of these studies will be measured values of the spin diffusion length, the relaxation time T2, and the spin resistance for high-Tc superconducting materials. Graduate students and postdoctoral research associates will be trained in forefront areas of condensed matter physics/materials science to constitute the next generation of researchers and engineers for the 21st Century. Linkages will be developed between research and education, the main emphasis being the improvement of the introductory physics course.%%%This CAREER project involves both a research and an education plan. The research will be focused on as yet unstudied properties of the behavior of electrons in technologically important materials. Graduate students and postdoctoral research associates will be trained in forefront areas of condensed matter physics/materials science to constitute the next generation of researchers and engineers for the 21st Century. The education plan tries to build a linkage between research and education. The teaching activities include a focus on the improvement of introductory physics courses with an active learning component and introduction of actual research experience into an undergraduate laboratory course.***
