Highly spin-polarized magnets have the potential to radically improve the performance of many spintronic devices.

Graduate student Wade Luhman has demonstrated a route to enhance the short exciton diffusion length (LD) of organic semiconductors by combining fluorescent and phosphorescent materials into a single electron donating thin film.

Auger recombination is an important mechanism that can limit the performance of solar cells.

Co-sponsored inaugural Gotham-Metro Condensed Matter Meeting Student-led one-day conference in hard and soft matter physics held at the New York Academy of Sciences Participating institutions: New York University, Columbia University, City College of New York, CUNY Staten Island, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University, Princeton University, SUNY Stony Brook, and Yale University More than 140 attendees

The NYU team, led by Jasna Brujic, an assistant professor in NYU’s Department of Physics, developed an innovative way to tabulate the number of spheres-they created a method for determining how spheres pack from inside the jar, making it easier to more accurately count them.

A single electron spin in an external magnetic field forms a two-level system that can be used to create a spin qubit. However, achieving fast single spin rotations, as would be required to control a spin qubit, is a major challenge. It is difficult to drive spin rotations on timescales that are faster than the spin dephasing time and to individually address a single spin on the nanometer scale. We have developed a new method for quantum control of single spins that does not involve conventional electron spin resonance (ESR).
