Research Interests: My primary interest at UVa is in the study of spin dependent phenomenon in thin films and alternating multilayers of magnetic and non-magnetic metals, semiconductors and insulators. These structures exhibit large changes in resistance depending on the relative orientation of the magnetic layers. These structures can be utilized as non-volatile memory, reconfigurable logic and very sensitive magnetic sensors. I am also interested in the use of the spin degree of freedom as a quantum bit (or qubit) for quantum information processing. Single electron spins can be contained in either self organized or electrically confined quantum dot structures and manipulated electronically to produce quantum gates. Finally, I have a long standing interest in novel superconducting materials including a host of copper oxide and ruthenium oxide based materials.
