International collaborations for NIRT: DMR-0210717
Canada
Prof. Devereaux collaborates on our inelastic light scattering
work. He has over 12 years of experience with Raman scattering.
Our collaboration is joint with the Ukraine team. We meet at least once
annually.
Croatia
Veljko Zlatic
(Institute of Physics, Zagreb)
Dr. Zlatic collaborates on the thermal transport and nonequilibrium
projects. We have been working together for about 8 years. He visits
Georgetown University one month each year, and a member of the US team
visits Croatia once a year as well. He collaborated on a Reviews of
Modern Physics article on the Falicov-Kimball model.
England
Alex Hewson (Imperial College, London)
Prof. Hewson is a collaborator on transport properties for the periodic Anderson
model, particularly in situations where the strongly correlated material
is made into a multilayer nanostructure. Hewson was visited in the spring
of 2005.
Germany
Prof. Pruschke is working on the thermoelectric properties of nanostructures
made of heavy fermions and Mott insulators. He provides numerical
renormalization group codes for solving the periodic Anderson model.
Freericks visited with him in the fall of 2004 and the summer of 2005.
Frank Steglich (Max Planck Institute for the chemical physics
of solids
A collaboration is planned with Prof. Steglich
on low-temperature thermoelectric coolers. The plan is to examine
heterostructures of heavy Fermions and Kondo insulators for low
temperature cooling applications. Freericks visited the MPI in Dresden in the
summer of 2004. Experimental results are not expected until
2006 at the earliest.
Ukraine
Serhii Shafraniuk (currently at Northwestern University)
Dr. Shafraniuk is committed to collaborating on nonequilibrium problems,
comparing quasiclassical approaches to many-body physics solutions.
Dr. Shafraniuk visited Georgetown University for one month in the summer of
2003.
Andrij Shvaika
(Institute of Condensed Matter Physics, Lviv)
Dr. Shvaika collaborates on the inelastic light scattering project
and visited Georgetown for three months in 2003 and four months in 2004
(on support from the CRDF). Freericks visited the laboratory in Lviv
for one week in the summer of 2004.
Future visits and collaborations are planned.
