Interests:
Professor Idzerda is currently interested in the physics of reduced dimensionality systems, especially in their interfacial and nanostructured behavior. His groups' recent interests have been in the oxide materials including half-metallic ferromagnets, multi-ferroics, and components of solid oxide fuel cells. This includes research on ultra-thin film and interface magnetism of itinerant electron magnetic systems and in novel characterization techniques that have strong magnetic contrast. Part of his research includes magnetic nanoclusters developed in protein cages and exploiting polarized X-rays to obtain unique knowledge of the behavior of magnetic thin films and surfaces. Some of his research is performed at the MSU Nano-materials X-ray Characterization Facility located at beamline U4B of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) where he has been the Spokesperson for this effort since its beginning.
