AESOP-lite balloon campaign provides research experience for students

Sarah Mechbal, a Santa Cruz grad student, and Matt Collins, an UD Physics major, were in Palestine, Texas in January 2019 participating in the AESOP-lite balloon campaign. The students created a website detailing their activities on the project with photos and videos from the site. The blog gives a day by day account of their progress and experiences. Primary Science Objectives for AESOP-lite: Search for the origin of low-energy in the electron spectrum between 10-300 MeV Read More
Aaron Loether Graduate Student Support Fund

Aaron B. Loether, PhD Legacy Graduate Student Support Fund will provide support for research oriented graduate students, in materials science, to travel to national facilities, other institutions or within the physics industry, to conduct research that is not possible or practical to conduct at the University of Delaware. The fund currently has raised over $75,000 with a goal of $100,000. We hope you will consider making a donation.Read More
Michael Shay and collaborators find surprising event in turbulent space

THz-Radiation Generated from Interfacial Spin-Orbit Coupling

May 18, 2018 - Electromagnetic terahertz (THz) radiation is a versatile tool for a wide variety of sensing technologies ranging from security systems to medical applications. Commonly, THz radiation is created using photoconductive switches and nonlinear crystals. Recently, it was shown that optical excitation of fast spin current pulses in magnetic materials may generate strong THz radiation from transverse spin transport phenomena.
