Solid State Physics

Solid State Physics, Volume 77, the latest release in this serial that highlights new advances in the field, presents interesting chapters written by an international board of authors, with this new release focusing on new breakthroughs in the field. Updates in this release include Electronic, optical, and transport properties of semiconducting systems with diminishing dimensions: From spin to spintronics.

Dr. Robert Stamps works at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manitoba, Canada. Dr. Robert Camley works at the Department of Physics & Energy Science, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Dr Rair Macêdo is a theoretical physicist by training—but every so often dabbles in the world of experimental physics. He started pursuing research at the age of 16, as a part of his BSc studies, in the area of novel optical effects in natural hyperbolic media; and received a PhD in physics from the University of Glasgow in a similar area, but at an advanced theoretical level, modelling electromagnetic properties of magnetic structures. He has held a Leverhulme Trust Early Research Fellowship to develop novel metamaterials to control and manipulate electromagnetic waves and is currently a Lecturer in Electrodynamics and Spin Electronics at the Electronic & Nanoscale Engineering Division of the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow.
