Correlated Electron Systems Group
Research in the Correlated Electron Systems (CES) Group at the University of Bristol focuses on trying to understand the basic physics behind a variety of unusual phenomena in metals, polymers, insulators and superconductors. The group has developed world-leading expertise in a range of experimental probes to study the electronic structure of metals and superconductors and performs a significant number of measurements at experimental facilities overseas. To get a flavour of what we do, please look at the recent research highlights section of this site.
*** NEW *** Post Doctoral Research Assistant: Anisotropic Electron Nematic Phases
A three year fixed term position is available to investigate the relationship between spin fluctuations and the anisotropic electron nematic phases recently discovered in iron-based superconductors and layered ruthenates (Sr3Ru2O7). The project will involve inelastic neutron and x-ray scattering experiments performed at international facilities (e.g. UK, France, Switzerland) together with low temperature transport and magnetic measurements performed in Bristol. Closing date for applications 9:00am 10 Feb 2012. Apply online at www.bris.ac.uk/boris/jobs/feeds/ads?ID=106871. Further details from Prof. Stephen Hayden (s.hayden(at)bris.ac.uk).
