Past Collaborations (2004-2019)

Summary: We have collaborated in various ways with over a dozen groups at BNL and many more outside. We have provided training to 1 undergraduate student,18 graduate students and 7 postdocs; in addition, 7 more senior scientists (professors) from other institutions spent extended periods doing research using our exceptional synthesis and characterization facilities. We have supplied the highest-quality and frequently unique single-crystal and heterostructure films to groups at key DOE laboratories (BNL, ANL, LBNL, ORNL, LANL), leading US universities (Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, MIT, Berkeley, Cornell, Urbana,...) and prominent research groups from many countries in North America, Europe, and Asia.
