 By Yonry Zhu (B.S. Engineering Physics, Class of 2017) I worked in Dr. Arthur Smith’s lab during summer 2015 and designed a pulsed laser deposition system for fabricating semiconducting thin films. The system is meant to be a test bed for components that will ultimately be integrated into an existing molecular […]

By Benjamin Hirt (B.S. Physics, Class of 2018) My research in Dr. Arthur Smith’s lab in Physics & Astronomy was about finding out if substances would stretch when put under a permanent magnetic field. To achieve a high magnetic field, we arranged the magnets in a Halbach array to maximize the […]

By Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy Oscar Avalos, doctoral student in Physics & Astronomy,  Visiting Researcher Diego Mastrogiuseppe, and Dr. Sergio Ulloa, Professor of Physics at Ohio University, report discovering unusually long-reaching spintronic interactions at the atomic level in a newly published article. It is likely that future electronic devices and […]

Dr. Arthur Smith’s article on “Native Gallium Adatoms Discovered on Atomically-Smooth Gallium Nitride Surfaces at Low Temperature” was named an ACS Editors’ Choice and provided as part of the open access initiative. A limited number of peer-reviewed research articles from ACS journals are selected as Editors’ Choice. The selection of […]

Physics & Astronomy graduate student Andrada Mandru won one of three national-level named student awards in October at the AVS (American Vacuum Society) International Symposium in San Jose, CA. She made two presentations at the symposium and also won a second award in the Magnetic Interfaces & Nanostructures Division. Mandru […]

The Condensed Matter & Surface Sciences Colloquium Series presents Arthur Smith of Ohio University on “Investigating Spin-Polarized Surface States of Magnetic Nitride Systems Using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy.” on Thursday, Sept. 24, at 4:10 p.m. in Walter 245. Abstract: Current investigations in my group continue to explore the properties […]

Dr. Arthur Smith, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, chaired the fifth international 2014 Spin-Polarized Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (SP-STM5) conference on July 15-19, 2014. SP-STM5 is an international gathering of scholars, sponsored by the Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute. Topics were related to spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, and included […]
