Welcome to the
unofficial web site for the Infrared component of the soft x-ray scattering
and spectroscopy (SXSS) group within the
National Synchrotron Light Source II at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long
Island, New York. This site will focus on the capabilities of the MET
and future INF infrared beamlines at the
NSLS II. In addition,
collaborative research is also carried out on a variety of materials,
including strongly correlated electron systems, with particular attention to emergent
phenomena, such as superconductivity. A brief survey of techniques
and topics include:
-
Infrared microscopy
-
Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM)
-
Reflectivity and ellipsometry
-
High-Tc cuprates and iron-based superconductors
-
Topological insulators; Dirac and Weyl
semimetals
-
Correlated electron systems (intermetallics, etc.)
-
Density-functional theory ab-initio calculations of electronic
band structure and lattice dynamics of perovskites and related materials
In order to carry out these studies instrumentation will be developed
for optical reflectance and transmission studies featuring lab-based as well as
synchrotron light sources. Some of the samples examined are
grown and
characterized at Brookhaven.
This site
previously hosted the web page for the Electron Spectroscopy Group in
the Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science Department, which was
defunded in 2021. The old web site may be found at:
