There are many people at UBC Vancouver involved in a wide range of research related to superconductivity. A group of us is currently concentrating on high-temperature superconductivity research in the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory (AMPEL) in the Brimacombe building.

Other Superconductivity Research at UBC

We are closely connected to a group of researchers led by Jess Brewer, Rob Kiefl and Andrew MacFarlane, who use muon spin rotation (µSR) and ⁸Li beta-NMR techniques to study superconductors and other exotic materials at the TRIUMF cyclotron facility on the UBC Vancouver campus. We also have close ties to the group headed by George Sawatzky and Andrea Damascelli, whose lab is next to ours, and who study an extremely vast variety of materials, often by angle-resolved photoemission and resonant soft X-ray absorption.

Other experimentalists and theoreticians in the department who are involved in superconductivity research include John Eldridge, Ian Affleck, Marcel Franz, Mona Berciu, and Phil Stamp.

If you would like to connect to some of the other groups that we collaborate with worldwide, or if you're looking for one of our former students or associates, try visiting our collection of superconductivity links or our page of friends and alumni.

For a somewhat less formal look at our group, try Photo Gallery A. This may contain large numbers of photos, and could therefore be painful for modem users.
