This dissertation presents a study of rare-earth magnetism using spectroscopic techniques. The features of strong spin-orbit coupling and the presence of hyperfine coupling which lead to coupled electro-nuclear crystal field states are...
Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements are reported for two systems: La1-xSrxCoO3 and La2−xSrxCuO4. The local nature of NMR finds local order at temperatures well above the bulk phase transitions of these compounds. This demonstrates...
Small helical membrane proteins are functionally very important. They are involved in many cellular transport and signal transduction pathways maintaining the chemical, mechanical and electrical potentials of cells. They constitute...
More than two decades after the first discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) in copper oxides in 1986, the central issues in the field - the nature of the insulating ground state at low carrier densities and the emergence...
We study the unusual transport behavior driven mostly by the correlations between the charge carriers in lattice and continuum systems. The strongly correlated systems are studied in the classical limit where the Coulomb interaction...
In this dissertation, the use of on-chip superconducting (SC) resonators as a probe of spin-photon interactions as well as other superconducting phenomena will be presented. In particular, coherent Rabi oscillations are demonstrated for...
When placed in a strong magnetic field, a two-dimensional electron gas can exhibit the quantum Hall effect in which a step like pattern forms in the Hall resistance, RH, which is defined to be the voltage drop perpendicular to the...
Electrical insulators provide the opportunity to study the effects of magnetic interactions in the absence of conduction electrons. Since about ten years ago, experiments on a few insulating dimerized antiferromagnets have shown a low...
Advanced composites offer robust mechanical properties and are widely used for structural applications in the aerospace, marine, defense and transportation industries. However, the inhomogenous nature of composite materials leaves them...
In this dissertation, I present a study of a wide range of organic and inorganic materials using radio frequency (rf) measurement methods. The organic samples under study were λ-(BETS )2 GaCl4 and λ-(BETS )2 FeCl4 . In the λ-(BETS )2...
