Experimental Experience

• Experience in low temperature physics, including the operation of ³He-⁴He Dilution Fridge in high magnetic fields.
• Experimental condensed matter physics at Sherbrooke University (2003 – 2010)

     Exploring the gap symmetry of superconductors by heat and charge transport studies at very low temperatures and in different current orientations with respect to the crystal axes.

• Expertise in making electrical contacts with the lowest contact resistance on the smallest   samples.
• Expertise in fabrication and synthesis of Gd_1-x-zPr_xCa_zBa₂Cu₃O_7-d high T_c superconductor ceramics.
• Experience in X-ray diffraction, to align single crystals for neutron scattering experiments, for example, and characterize powders by Rietveld.
• Leading a project on neutron scattering in collaboration with the CNBC and Johns Hopkins University.
