Welcome to the Low Temperature Lab in Seattle !


Our research group studies the fundamental nature of classical and quantum fluids in the low temperature regime, with emphasis on the structure and dynamics of phases and phase transitions of very thin (submonolayer/monolayer/multilayer) films deposited on crystalline substrates, and quasi-one dimensional "lines" of the same atoms and molecules deposited on carbon nanotubes. Along with most other experimental condensed matter physics labs at UW , our lab is located in the basement of the Department of Physics at the University of Washington in Seattle,in the State of Washington. The research is currently supported by the National Science Foundation grants DMR 9876763 and 0115663. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
