Patrick R. LeClairAssistant Professor Experimental condensed-matter physics Dr. LeClair's research at the moment focuses on electrical transport in novel magnetic heterostructures ("spin electronics"), superconductivity, and electron tunneling phenomena. Dr. LeClair is currently building up a shared laboratory for electrical, magnetic, and optical characterization of novel materials and devices down to ultra-low temperatures (<400mK) and high magnetic fields (>7T). He is the author of over 25 publications, and co-author of two patents. Dr. LeClair received his Ph.D. in Physics (cum laude) from the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands in 2002. From 2002-2005 he was a post-doctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory. He joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Alabama in 2005. |
