Premi Chandra
Premala "Premi" Chandra is an American theoretical Condensed matter physics, condensed matter physicist whose research concerns the quantum mechanics, quantum mechanical and Electromagnetism, electromagnetic behavior of matter at the nanoscale, especially in two-dimensional surfaces. She is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers University. Education and career Chandra graduated summa cum laude from Yale University in 1981. Despite a love for mathematics and science, and pressure from her mother to become a physician, she started her studies in history, but switched to physics after being persuaded by her mother that she was "just running away from what you love". After graduating, she worked in industry as a research technician for Exxon for two years, and then continued her graduate studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. After visiting Princeton University under a UC Regents Fellowship, she completed her Ph.D. at UC Santa Barbara in 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Condensed Matter Physics
Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter, especially the solid and liquid State of matter, phases, that arise from electromagnetic forces between atoms and electrons. More generally, the subject deals with condensed phases of matter: systems of many constituents with strong interactions among them. More exotic condensed phases include the superconductivity, superconducting phase exhibited by certain materials at extremely low cryogenic temperatures, the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of Spin (physics), spins on crystal lattices of atoms, the Bose–Einstein condensates found in ultracold atomic systems, and liquid crystals. Condensed matter physicists seek to understand the behavior of these phases by experiments to measure various material properties, and by applying the physical laws of quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, and other theoretical physics, physic ...
