FIELDS OF INTEREST
My interests are mostly metallic glasses, in both experimental and theoretical aspects. Sample preparation by rapid solidification of the melt on a single-roll spinning copper wheel, structure and transport properties, superconductivity. Metallic glasses offer an excellent matrix in which to study the behavior of electrons in highly disordered systems; their high resistivities span the region of values from those of crystalline alloys to the limit of metallic conduction. The observed anomalous low temperature resistivity and magnetic susceptibility, as well as the large magnetoresistivity of metallic glasses have been associated with the onset of electron localization and enhanced electron-electron interaction in the presence of disorder. However, my interests have not strictly been restricted to metallic glasses, and I have been keeping myself informed on many other fields of research in solid-state physics.
TEACHING
Since January 1986 I have been participating in teaching the various profiles of students at DOP with the following:
Verbal exercises: "General Physics I", "General Physics II", "General Physics III", "General Physics IV", "Introduction to the Physics of Materials", "Semiconductor Physics".
Laboratory exercises: "Practical Laboratory Work I", " Practical Laboratory Work II", "Practical Laboratory Work III", "Electronic Practical Laboratory Work", "Solid State Physics Practical Laboratory Work ".
