Description
This fellowship supports experimental investigations into the electronic structure and interactions in electrically conducting systems. Research focuses on thin films and bulk materials such as magnetic semiconductors, transition metals, superconductors, semimetals, intermetallic compounds, and emerging 2D materials. Experimental techniques include measurements of electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, Hall effect, and magnetization as functions of temperature, magnetic field strength, and sample dimensions.
The research is conducted at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, within the Materials Science & Technology division. The program offers access to state-of-the-art facilities and mentorship by experienced researchers.
