Greetings!  We like to go boldy in search of new physical phenomena in nanowires and nanotubes.  We are particularly interested in many-body effects and in the consequences of small size or low dimensionality for phase transitions.

Click on the links to the left to find out more.

Here we see a VO₂ nanobeam undergoing a first-order metal-insulator phase transition.  The greyer domain is metallic and the pinker one is insulating.  They coexist because the nanobeam is under tension.
