Experimental Method Reviews

	For the Experimental Method review, you should choose an experimental 
method, or a class of methods, typically used in experimental condensed
matter physics and describe the basic experimental setup, what can be learned
from these experiments, and perhaps give an example.  This is to be done in six 
pages, excluding the titlepage, but including figures, using the Latex template 
Mat\_review.tex available on the anonymous ftp site (since LaTeX is the official 
typesetting language of the APS, this language MUST be used).  You must 
register your topic for this paper in writing (by email to user jarrell) 
BEFORE the end of the sixth week of the quarter. 

	FIGURES:  Figures can be embedded in the LaTeX document.  Be sure to 
cite the source for each figure in the aption.  Examples are in 
Mat_review.tex.  If you use scanned figures, BE SURE THAT YOU SCAN YOUR
FIGURES WITH 300 DPI RESOLUTION (DO NOT USE COLOR!!!).  If you use screen 
resolution (70 dpi), the printed figures are generally unreadable.  If you 
use higher than 300 dpi resulution, then the figure files are too big, and 
will exceed your quota (as well as the quota on the coureware site).

	You should feel free to choose your own topic; however, several
topics of interest (in no particular order) are

	Andreev reflection
	ARPES (angle-resolved photoemmision)
	Inverse Photoemission (BIS)
	Bulk Thermodynamic Properties
		Specific Heat measurements
		magnetic susceptibility (Faraday balance,..)
	Cathodoluminescense
	Infrared Absorption
	Low Temperature thermometry (RTD's, thermocouples...)
	Muon spin resonance
	Neutron scattering
	Photoluminesence Spectroscopy
	Time-resolved spectroscopies
	Transport measurements
	X-ray photoemission
	Use of the STM in molecular electronics
	
Some subjects should be avoided as they have been done many times before, 
including
	
	Nuclear magnetic resonance
	Reflectivity/Optical conductivity
	STM
	SEM
