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: E-mail: ashkenazi@physics.miami.edu The Department of Physics offers programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, and both thesis and non-thesis M.S. tracks are available. Usually a Ph.D. student devotes the first year mostly to basic courses, and takes the qualifying exam at the first January following his arrival. Students should become involved with a research project by the second year, and after passing the qualifying exam, must present the beginnings of a research project to a committee within six months. This presentation will normally turn into a dissertation, but the student is not bound to it and can switch to another project or even another area of research later. Experimental research here is in the areas of astrophysics, nonlinear phenomena and chaos, optics, optical oceanography, and solid-state physics. Theoretical research is in elementary particles, environmental optics, plasmas, nonlinear phenomena and chaos, and solid-state physics. In addition to the research projects, the activities of research groups include seminars where both visitors and the department faculty and graduate students present results of their research.
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://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/eurekalert.html
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. Capasso, head of the Semiconductor Physics Research department, and Faist had earlier invented the quantum-cascade laser, a fundamentally new type of laser that operates like an electronic waterfall. Multiple layers Gallium-Indium-Arsenide and Aluminum-Indium-Arsenide are stacked on top of each other with atomic precision in such a way that mid-infrared light is generated when an electric current passes through this semiconductor sandwich. The recent breakthrough came when this technology was combined with the notion of asymmetric resonant cavities

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.

Extractions: Queen Elizabeth II Fellow Condensed Matter Physics In April 2000, I will be become an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Oregon, USA. Facilities in the low-temperature laboratory will be based around a Kelvinox AST (advanced sorption pump technology) dilution fridge. Working with a post-doc (position to be advertised in Physics Today) and PhD students, the fridge will be used to study both the fundamental and applied physics of mesoscopic semiconductor systems. Current collaborations with Nottingham (UK), Cambridge (UK), UNSW (Australia) and Arizona State Universities will continue, and these will be integrated with projects within the Materials Science Institute at the University of Oregon. My current research is described below. Due to the spectacular advances made in semiconductor growth and fabrication technologies, it is now possible to study billiards - electronic devices where the host material is so pure that electrons travel along classical trajectories determined by the shape of the device cavity rather than by material-induced scattering events. In Fig. 1, surface gates are used to electrostatically define a sub-micron billiard within the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) located at the interface of an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure.

Extractions: Jean Bellissard My research concerns mathematical problems raised by various questions of condensed matter physics. I am interested in the electronic and transport properties of aperiodic solids and I have used non-commutative geometry to study conceptual problems in the theory of the quantum Hall effect. Recently I have turned my interest toward random matrix theory to address problems such as the Anderson localization-delocalization transition and the low temperature conductivity and phonon spectrum of quasicrystals. Helmut Biritz I am interested in wave equations and fields that describe a whole spectrum of particles and which are free of all the difficulties usually associated with higher spin fields. At present, I am seeking to discover whether there is a natural way to incorporate massless particles like the photon and graviton into such regular fields and to rewrite the standard model in this new language. Michael Chapman My laboratory investigates fundamental topics in contemporary quantum mechanics by manipulating the quantum behavior of single atoms and photons. This research employs lasers to confine and cool atoms to micro-Kelvin temperatures inside a vacuum chamber. Recent successes include all-optical formation and trapping of Bose-Einstein condensates and the Nevatron-a storage ring for ultracold atoms. Our research employs state-of-the-art laser and optical technologies, as well as high-speed electronics and vacuum technology.
