Dr. James Kakalios
| Associate Professor Kakalios has recently begun studies of
granular media and complex systems, in addition to his ongoing
research into the electronic and optical properties of amorphous
semiconductors. The amorphous silicon research involves the
fabrication and processing of thin film hydrogenated amorphous
silicon, and studies of non-Gaussian 1/f noise, stretched
exponential relaxation, thermal equilibration processes, random
telegraph switching noise, thermoelectric effects and optical and
infra-red spectroscopy. The work in granular materials began in
1993, and is summarized on this web page. | |||||||||||
Kimberly Hill | Kimberly M. Hill made the inital discovery of a reversible axial
segregation effect with Prof. Kakalios at Minnesota in 1993,
received her M.S. in 1995 and her Ph.D. in 1997. She is
presently a post-doctoral research associate with Dr. James
Martin, studying the physics of colloids, at Sandia National
Laboratory. | |||||||||||
Michael Enz | As an undergraduate junior at the University of Minnesota,
Michael started work on avalanche dynamics in the spring of
1996. He has written the avalanche simulations and is
responsible for this web page. | |||||||||||
Jim Koeppe | Jim compiled the systematic avalanche startification data during
the summer after his freshman year. Throughout the following
year he has taken data for the phase diagram and dabbled in
other theories of segregation. | |||||||||||
