Problems currently being examined include the electrical transport properties of carbon nanotube ‘quantum wires,’ transport and magnetic properties of thin films of ferromagnets, magnetic properties of materials in non-equilibrium structures, magnetization reversal in nanometer-scale magnets, scanning electron microscopy, high-sensitivity magnetometry, and coherence effects in light-absorption in semiconductors with self-assembled quantum dots.
