  1. Nanoscale Structures and Novel Quantum Phenomena in Correlated Electron SystemsDirk K. Morr, University of Illinois at Chicago, DMR-0513415 Quantum Imaging Nanoscale impurity structures open new possibilities to explore and manipulate correlated electron materials and their unconventional physical properties. The PI has shown that nanostructures create novel quantum phenomena by utilizing one of the most fundamental effects in quantum mechanics: the wave-like nature of electrons. These novel phenomena include the creation of quantum images, interference driven quantum phase transitions, and the spatial screening of quantum states. Creating quantum images (light areas) of a quantum object (red dot) These results open the path to many new applications in the fields of spin electronics and quantum information technology. Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 107006 (2004) Phys. Rev. B 73, 140502(R) (2006)

  2. Nanoscale Structures and Novel Quantum Phenomena in Correlated Electron SystemsDirk K. Morr, University of Illinois at Chicago, DMR-0513415 Outreach: The PI is working with the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) in Chicago on developing the new Science Storms exhibition, which covers national science benchmarks for physics and chemistry. The PI is a member of the Science Storms Advisory Committee and has presented several talks on “Superconductivity” and “Emergent Behavior on the Nanoscale” at the MSI. In November 2006 the PI will present a public lecture as part of the Inventive Genius Lecture Series at MSI on “Mysteries of the Quantum World” Education: The PI is overseeing the training of one undergarduate student, A. Khan, two graduate students, R. Nyberg and J. Figgins, and one postdoctoral research associate, E. Rossi. The PI has developed a new advanced course series on condensed matter physics.
