Preliminary noise studies indicate that heterogeneous hopping among tiny domains gives a filamentary conduction path. Flux motion in type-II superconductors. Noise studies show that there are regimes in which neither the activated flux creep nor uniform lattice motion pictures work, but that a plastic flow model is needed. We are now trying to characterize that flow. GSAC Talks are held every Tuesday and Thursday evening in room 137 Loomis.
Physics graduate students to a wide variety of research areas and potential advisors.
All first-year graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend.
