Powell (UNC/TUNL) Babak Etemadi, Mario Encinosa (Florida Aamp;M University) A quantum mechanical particle constrained to a surface experiences a potential in the Schrodinger equation dependent on the first and second fundamental forms of the surface. We use a Monge representation to model particular surfaces and calculate this interaction potential. We then calculate the first order perturbative effect of this term on the ground state energy of a standard model of quantum dot Helium. We find that the energy shift can be highly dependent on the detailed parameterization of the surface distortion. This dependence arises from the Coulomb repulsion between the electron pair causing each electron to preferentially sample (or not sample) regions where physical curvature leads to an appreciable magnitude of the distortion potential.

Extractions: What kind of preparation is needed? What are the possible degrees? What jobs are available for Physics graduates? What do graduate students do? ... What if the answer to my question is not here? Preparation for Graduate Study : You should have an undergraduate degree in physics or a closely related subject, with a minimum grade-point-average of B or 3.0 (A = best grade = 4.0). Your degree should include undergraduate courses in electromagnetism (level of Griffiths), classical mechanics (Marion), thermal physics (Kittel), and quantum physics (Eisberg or Leighton). If your background is weak in any of these areas, we can arrange for you to spend part of your first year as a graduate student taking some of our advanced undergraduate classes. (return to the index) Graduate Degrees : You can earn a M.S. and/or a Ph.D. in physics or a M.S. in Applied Physics. The M.S. usually takes 2 years, and the Ph.D. takes about three additional years beyond the M.S. The M.S. degree can be earned either through thesis or non-thesis options. Entering students who already have a M.S. degree from another institution can usually begin a Ph.D. program immediately. Beginning Fall, 2003, the department will offer a new program leading to a Professional M.S. degree in Applied Physics. (return to the index) Employment Outlook : Students who earn graduate degrees in Physics find employment in a variety of industries, in government laboratories, and in academia. Our graduates are presently employed by leading industries and universities in the U.S., and many of our foreign students have returned to their home countries to important academic positions.

Extractions: Prof. A.Matulis, T.Pyragienë We investigate the quantum nanostructures, quantum dots and atidots in magnetic field , electron-electron interaction, collective phenomena. The main interest is in application of simple models. Recently we developed the special adiabatic technique for describing the 2D electrons in strong magnetic field. Assuming that all electrons are in the lowest Landau level and making use of two different time scales (the fast cyclotron rotation and slow drift caused by weak electric forces) we derived the effective Schrodinger equation for the description of the slow motion of electrons. The equation is in agreement with the classical Larmor circle drift. We get the quantum corrections of electron motion which correctly describe known collective phenomena - the energy spectrum, Wigner crystallization. We are going to apply this technique for description of various phenomena in quantum nanostructures. We considered the spectrum of 2D electron moving in the perpendicular magnetic field close to the non-penetratable stripe, the simplest antidot with sharp edges. Such systems are interesting from the quantum chaos point of view. It was shown that the Green function and the singular integral equation technique can be successfully applied if one takes into account properly the kernel singuliarity and the wave function peculiarities close to antidot edges. The wave function singularity is even more important then the kernel one. The analytical solution of the above equation was obtained in the asymptotic case of short stripe. The main spectrum features caused by the above mentioned sharp edges were revealed. We hope apply the developed technique for the description of electrons in nanostructures with sharp edges.

Alumni Theoretical Research Groups Professor Michael Miller is a condensed matter theorist whose interests include the statistical mechanics of model nonlinear systems, classical and quantum liquid surfaces and interfaces. Recently Professor Miller has been examining the equation of state of 3He in surface states in superfluid 4He films, a two-dimensional fermi liquid. This work requires developing new techniques for treating a strongly-correlated, inhomogeneous fermion system with a frequency dependent effective interaction. In addition, he is studying the ground-states of classical systems with competing length scales. This system can have enormously complicated phase diagrams whose analysis requires special techniques.

Extractions: srinivas@neu.edu Professor Sridhar's principal areas of research are Quantum Chaos and Superconductivity. Quantum and Electromagnetic Chaos: The field of Quantum Chaos is still in its infancy, but is currently a very active area of research. The main thrust of Professor Sridhar's program is to explore, via electromagnetic experiments, the manifestations of classical chaos in wave mechanics. Some significant results have emerged, such as the first direct observation of "scars" which were predicted theoretically in 1984 but were observed by him for the first time in 1991. More recently this work has led to an experimental verification of a mathematical theorem on "Hearing the Shape of Drums". Professor Sridhar's group is now looking at the role of chaos and disorder in organizing quantum wave functions. Besides addressing very fundamental issues in Quantum Mechanics, the work also has potential for applications in electromagnetic systems. High Tc Superconductivity: The high temperature superconductors which were discovered in 1986 still continue to pose major challenges to scientists. The mystery of the correct mechanism of superconductivity is still unsolved, and the nature of the superconducting state and the dynamics of vortices continue to be debated intensely. Professor Sridhar and his associates study the microwave response of superconductors, both for understanding the nature of superconductivity and the dynamics of vortices, and for practical applications in microwave devices.

Max Planck Society -- Research News Release that make laser light so special, a resonator pattern is a consequence of chaos, inducedby Capasso, head of the Semiconductor physics research department, and http://www.mpg.de/news98/news9.htm
Extractions: Chaos comes to light in asymmetric microlasers, making them a thousand times more powerful In the June 5, 1998 cover story of "Science", researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden/Germany, Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and Lucent Technologies' Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, report on an innovative laser design which relies on the presence of chaotic light rays inside a resonator with a cross section close to the width of a human hair. At roughly 0.05 millimeter diameter, the tiny cylinders made of semiconductor material are among the smallest ever made, belonging to a class of microlasers that have been pioneered by Sam McCall, Richard Slusher and coworkers at Bell Labs in the early Nineties. Already, larger semiconductor lasers are at the heart of numerous everyday items, such as CD players. The key difference between these conventional devices and the microlaser lies in the shape: to create the perfectly synchronized photons that make laser light so special, a resonator has to be formed by trapping the light. The early pioneering microresonators consisted of perfectly round disks that can store light in wavefronts circulating around the rim - squeezed toward the edge like the passengers of a runaway merry-go-round, but nonetheless caught for great lengths of time. What holds back the light is total internal reflection, the same effect that makes the surface of a calm swimming pool look like a shiny mirror to a diver submerged in the water. The new laser design still uses this effect because it is the key to a small resonator volume, but traps the light in a bowtie-shaped pattern which is unlike anything that can be achieved with round resonators. The very existence of this unconventional lasing pattern is a consequence of chaos, induced by the highly oval cross section with which the semiconductor microcylinders have now been fabricated by Bell Labs scientists Claire Gmachl, Federico Capasso, Deborah Sivco, Alfred Cho and Jérôme Faist (who is now with the Université de Neuchâtel, Switzerland).

Extractions: Graduate Seminars and Courses The program is designed to give each student both a broad background in physics and a high degree of expertise in a chosen field of research. The department is small, and to provide a breadth of coverage in physics, the faculty members have different specialties covering a variety of topics and research interests. Students and faculty members work closely together. The formal graduate course work is handled in small courses or tutorials which can be tailored to the needs of the students. Students may also take introductory or advanced graduate courses at the University of Pennsylvania or at Drexel University in nearby Philadelphia (about thirty minutes by car or train). Some research projects are of an interdisciplinary nature, involving two or more groups in the Physics, Biology, Mathematics, and Chemistry Departments. In the past 20 years (1980-2001), the Physics Department has awarded 19 Ph.D.s and 21 M.A.s. Most of these degree recipients are currently employed as physicists. Many have held postdoctoral fellowships. Some are on college or university faculties, and others are employed by industry or government. Research in the department has been recognized and sponsored by funding from agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the American Chemical Society, Research Corporation and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The Physics Department's research programs have also been supported by a variety of generous grants to Bryn Mawr College from many corporations, foundations, and private individuals. The facilities and equipment available for experimental research are of high quality and enable each research group to remain competitive in its area. Graduate students find a supportive and stimulating environment.
