Students carry out three experimental projects selected from those available representing condensed matter, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics. Included are nuclear magnetic resonance, microwave spectroscopy, optical pumping, scattering of laser light, neutron activation of radioactive isotopes, Compton scattering of gamma rays, the relativistic mass of the electron, recoil free gamma-ray resonance, the lifetime of the muon, studies of superfluid helium, positron annihilation superconducting transitions, the quantum Hall effect, and properties of semiconductors. The facilities of the laboratory include several computer controlled experiments as well as computers for analysis.

This course will explore how recent developments in condensed matter physics are expanding the frontiers of modern technologies. We will review semiconducting, magneto- and optoelectronic devices, magnetoresistive materials, carbon nanotubes, and high temperature superconductors. Technologies in the earliest stages of their development, such as nanotechnology, quantum computations and communication, will also be discussed.
