The goal of this Faculty Early Career Development project is to establish a research and teaching program at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the California State University, Long Beach, that will serve the urban, ethnically and culturally diverse student community of southern California. The goals of the projects will include investigation of the physics of dynamical and thermal properties of individual magnetic nanostructures, as well as the spin electronic properties of tunable magnetic nanowire-based atomic point contacts and nanogaps. Additional focus of the research efforts will be in utilizing recently developed integrated optical and magnetic nanostructures towards the development of novel ultra-sensitive nanowire-based mechanical resonators integrated with the metallic plasmon optical nano-reflectors. Finally, new sensors and methodologies for magnetic resonance imaging will be explored and developed that include novel inductive and mechanical detection principles. These projects provide an excellent opportunity for both undergraduate and graduate students at the university that primarily serves traditionally underrepresented groups to learn about applications of magnetism and optics to a variety of interdisciplinary fields in nanotechnology.The goal of this Faculty Early Career Development project is to establish a research and teaching program at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the California State University, Long Beach, that will serve the urban, ethnically and culturally diverse student community of southern California. The goals of the projects will include investigation of the physics of individual magnetic nanostructures (only several hundred atoms across in size), as well as the electronic properties of magnetic atomic point contacts (spin electronics). Additional focus of the research efforts will be in utilizing recently developed integrated optical and magnetic nanostructures towards the development of novel ultra-sensitive nanowire-based mechanical resonators for magnetic resonance, biological, and chemical sensing applications. Finally, new sensors and methodologies for magnetic resonance imaging will be explored and developed that include novel inductive and mechanical detection principles.

这个教师早期职业发展项目的目标是建立一个研究和教学计划，在物理学和天文学的加州州立大学长滩，这将服务于城市，种族和文化多样的学生社区南部加州的部门。这些项目的目标将包括研究单个磁性纳米结构的动力学和热特性的物理学，以及可调磁性纳米材料的原子点接触和纳米间隙的自旋电子特性。研究工作的其他重点将是利用最近开发的集成光学和磁性纳米结构，开发与金属等离子体光学纳米反射器集成的新型超灵敏的基于陶瓷的机械谐振器。最后，新的传感器和磁共振成像方法将探索和开发，包括新的电感和机械检测原理。这些项目为本科生和研究生提供了一个很好的机会，主要服务于传统上代表性不足的群体，了解磁性和光学在纳米技术的各种跨学科领域的应用。这个教师早期职业发展项目的目标是在加州州立大学物理和天文学系建立一个研究和教学计划，长滩，这将服务于南加州的城市，种族和文化多样的学生社区。这些项目的目标将包括研究单个磁性纳米结构（大小只有几百个原子）的物理学，以及磁性原子点接触（自旋电子学）的电子特性。研究工作的另一个重点将是利用最近开发的集成光学和磁性纳米结构，开发用于磁共振，生物和化学传感应用的新型超灵敏基于MEMS的机械谐振器。最后，新的传感器和磁共振成像方法将探索和开发，包括新的电感和机械检测原理。这些项目为大学的本科生和研究生提供了一个极好的机会，主要服务于传统上代表性不足的群体，以了解磁性和光学在纳米技术中各种跨学科领域的应用。
