Much of the research interest is focused on the electronic and
magnetic properties of alloys and intermetallic compounds. In
addition, efforts are being made to search for novel materials
which show unusual phenomena such as heavy fermion behavior and
high temperature superconductivity. Various studies include design
and building of cryogenic probes and equipment used at low temperatures,
sample preparation using both arc furnace and induction melting,
characterization of materials by x-ray diffraction, and measurements
of resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and Mössbauer
effect in the temperature range from 0.03 to 300 K. Moreover,
we collaborate with groups at Brookhaven National Laboratory,
the National Magnet Laboratory and other research institutes to
both broaden and intensify our studies.
