U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: A Study of the Magnetic Properties of Some Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

小行星9602928 这个美国-巴西奖将支持圣地亚哥州立大学的扫罗·奥瑟罗夫博士和坎皮纳斯州立大学- UNICAMP的卡洛斯·雷托里博士在重费米子系统、中间价化合物和显示出异常大磁阻的材料研究方面的合作研究。计划中的实验将解决对理解强关联系统物理学至关重要的具体问题。 电子自旋共振、磁化和拉曼技术将用于研究这些系统的高质量单晶。 除了阐明重费米子物理学的微观描述问题外，这些实验的成功结果将导致能够操纵强相关效应，特别是在电子和热器件领域。 ***

9602928 Oseroff This U.S.-Brazil award will support collaborative research between Dr. Saul Oseroff of San Diego State University and Dr. Carlos Rettori of Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP in the study of heavy fermion systems, intermediate valence compounds and materials showing an unusually large magnetoresistance. The experiments planned will address specific questions essential to the understanding of the physics of strongly correlated systems. Electron spin resonance, magnetization and Raman techniques will be used to study high quality single crystals of those systems. In addition to shedding light on the issue of the microscopic description of heavy fermion physics, successful results of these experiments will lead to the ability to manipulate strong correlation effects for useful means especially in the areas of electronic and thermal devices. ***
