Supervisor: Eric Isaacs

General Information


ANL Research Highlights

My research at Center for Nanoscale Materials involved the use of novel coherent x-ray scattering and microdiffraction techniques (with experiments carried out primarily at Argonne Advanced Photon Source) to study quantum dynamics of antiferromagnetic domains. Another project involved studies of phase transitions at liquid-vapor interfaces and properties of materials in nanoscale confinement.

Publications arising from my work at Argonne include:

O. G. Shpyrko et al., "Direct measurement of antiferromagnetic domain fluctuations"

Nature 447, 68 (2007).

O. G. Shpyrko et al., "Surface Crystallization in a Liquid AuSi Alloy"

Science 313, 77 (2006).

O. G. Shpyrko et al., "Atomic-Scale Surface Demixing in a Eutectic Liquid BiSn Alloy"

Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 106103 (2005).


New Endeavors

My future endeavors at UCSD involve development of novel microscopy techniques that will take advantage of newly developed fully coherent x-ray sources such as X-ray Free Electon Lasers and Energy Recovery Linacs. My interests are primarily in studying novel electronic and magnetic materials, as well as soft matter (fluids, polymers, nanoparticles, colloidal glasses) characterized by spatial or temporal inhomogeneities.
