Electron Magnetic Resonance Investigations of Low Dimensional Conductors and Superconductors

这是一个个人研究者奖，授予蒙大拿州立大学的一位年轻教授，他对各种低维导体和超导体的基态特性进行了研究。该项目主要研究有机电荷转移盐和无机层状氧化物。该项目的三个主要部分是：1)利用回旋共振技术研究这些准一维和二维材料的热力学；2)研究Sr2RuO4体系中的集体模式，Sr2RuO4是一种潜在的三重态配对超导体；3)研究有机超导体和层状超导体中的约瑟夫森等离子体共振。所有的测量将使用GHz腔微扰方法。这些研究的统一目标是探索这些不寻常材料的各种基态是如何从它们各自的金属态演变而来的，无论是传统的还是非常规的。参与该项目的学生将培养技能，帮助他们在学术界、政府或工业实验室找到工作。低维材料具有各种有趣的特性，其中一些具有在未来技术中使用的潜力。这些材料也形成了一个有趣的实验室，在那里可以研究新的物理现象。这是一个个人研究者奖，授予蒙大拿州立大学的一位年轻教授，他的研究项目是低维导体和超导体的基态性质。特别是分子导体和层状超导体将使用高频技术进行研究。该项目的目标是探索这些材料中的各种基态是如何从各自的金属态演变而来的。这项研究将增加我们对这些有趣材料的了解。参与该项目的学生将培养技能，帮助他们在学术界、政府或工业实验室找到工作。

This is an individual investigator award to a young professor at Montana State University for research into the ground-state properties of a variety of low dimensional conductors and superconductors. The project focuses on organic charge transfer salts and inorganic layered oxides. The three main parts of the project are 1) to study the fermiology of these quasi 1- and 2-d materials using a cyclotron resonance technique ; 2) to study the collective modes in the Sr2RuO4 system, a potential triplet pairing superconductor; and 3) to study the Josephson plasma resonance in the organic and layered superconductors. A GHz cavity perturbation method will be used for all of the measurements. The unifying goal of the studies is to probe how the various ground states of these unusual materials evolve from their respective metallic states, whether conventional or unconventional. The students working on the project will develop skills that will help them find jobs in academia, government or industrial laboratories.%%%Low dimensional materials possess a variety of interesting characteristics, some of which hold a potential for use in future technologies.
