Research

l am primarily interested in layered superconductors.  Of these, the most interesting are the high-temperature superconductors such as Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi2212).  I am interested in the mechanism for superconductivity, the competition with charge-density waves, and the orbital symmetry of the superconducting order parameter.
Focus Areas:

Layered superconductors
THz emitters
Charge-density waves
c-axis twist junctions
Nuclear magnetic resonance
