Budnick, Joseph

Solid state physics and materials science. Studies include x-ray absorption fine structure, nuclear magnetic resonance, transport properties, magnetic ordering, critical phenomena, muon spin rotation and general structural aspects of magnetic, semiconducting and superconducting systems. Research activities have included ion implantation studies of materials and interfacial problems associated with near surface regions of both metals and semiconductors. Studies of local magnetism in high T_c oxides and magnetic ruthenates.
