Research papers written by UNL physicists have been recognized as some of the top projects of 2007 by major physics publications.
Three research projects involving UNL faculty and graduate students were among 35 projects featured in Physics News in 2007. This supplement to APS News, published by the American Physical Society, summarizes physics highlights for the past year. Projects involving UNL faculty were:
- "Quantized Magnetoresistance," describing the Nature Nanotechnology article by physicists Andrei Sokolov, Evgeny Tsymbal and former colleague Bernard Doudin, chemist Jody Redepenning and chemistry graduate student Chunjuan Zhang.
- "Tevatron's Higgs Quest Quickens," summarizing recent results from Fermilab's Tevatron, with contributions from physicists Ken Bloom, Aaron Dominguez, Greg Snow and Dan Claes.
- "The Highest-Energy Cosmic Rays," summarizing Pierre Auger Observatory's announcement that researchers had identified active galactic nuclei as the source of the highest energy. Greg Snow is a collaborator in this international project.
Two papers co-authored by UNL physicists, chemists and members of the Materials Research and Science Engineering Center were among the top 25 selected for the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter Top Papers of 2007 Showcase, published by the Institute of Physics. The UNL-related papers were:
- "Correlation effects and electronic structure of Gd@C60," co-authored by UNL physicist Peter Dowben, chemist Xiao Zeng, graduate students Ning Wu and Yi Gao, in collaboration with UNO physicists Renat Sabirianov, Wai-Ning Mei and others.
- "Epitaxial growth and surface properties of half-metal NiMnSb films," co-authored by Dowben as part of an international collaboration.
