• WE STUDY LAYER MATERIALS:
• THE DESCRIPTION OF THE CURRENT PROBLEMS UNDER STUDY IS ACCESSED BY CLICKING THE NUMBER NEXT TO THE TOPIC:
• SPIN EXCHANGE IN SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS: 1.
• QUANTUM CHEMISTRY CALCULATIONS: 2.
• ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE AT SJSU: 3 .
• X-RAY ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY AT SSRL: 4, 5, 6.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY STUDENTS:

• Long Nguyen, MS THESIS, 1999. Working full time.
• Thaddeus Norman: MS THESIS, 1999. Started Ph.D program at UC Santa Cruz, July 20th.

• THE PHASE TRANSITION IN 2D CUPRATES AT T_c SHOW THAT: 7
• ELECTRON DENSITY AT THE Ba ATOM CHANGES NEAR T_c.
• ATOMIC ABSORPTION RELAXATION TIMES DECREASE NEAR T_c.

• IN NiS_1.52Se_0.48 THE TRANSITION OBSERVED BY XAFS SHOW THAT: 8
• THE X-RAY TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE ABSORPTION SPECTRA (XTDAS) METHOD (DEVELOPED BY LONG NGUYEN) HAS IDENTIFIED:
• DIFFERENT PHASES IN THE AF REGIME.
• Ni-Se VIBRATION HARDENS AT 7 K TRANSITION.
