I am presently directing the construction of the Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) here at IU. This facility, which will be based on the world's first university-based pulsed neutron source, will be devoted to studies of large-scale structures in materials using SANS and other techniques, the development of new types of neutron instrumentation, and the education of users in neutron techniques. In addition to this interest in neutron techniques, I maintain an interest in low-temperature magnetotransport and structural studies of a variety of interesting materials including ferromagnetic semiconductors, metallic multilayers, and materials near the metal-insulator transition.
