	NMR Techniques Prof. Stuart Brown
	C One direction of research in our laboratory the physical properties of correlated electron systems using pulsed NMR techniques. Materials that we work on include high temperature superconductors and organic conductors. In both of these cases, the ground state can be tuned in the laboratory by changing the carrier density or by applying high pressure. For example, small changes in pressure could change a superconductor to an insulating antiferromagnet. NMR is sensitive to these changes through the hyperfine coupling to the electronic spins. The REU student will participate in probe development for a new cryostat and magnet, and measurements using the new hardware.
