The research is on fundamental studies of superconductivity                and magnetism in layered materials.  The superconductivity                      studies emphasizes anomalous behavior in the temperature and                    angular dependence of the upper critical field in superconducting               graphite interacalation compounds.  The magnetic studies                        emphasize a direct observation of magnetic vortices using a                     spin-sensitive scanning tunneling microscope, high field                        magnetization and susceptibility measurements.  Materials studied               include ionic fluoride graphite intercalation compounds, boron                  nitride intercalation compounds, and dilute magnetic                            superlattices.                                                                                                                                                       The principal investigator has trained a large number of                   graduate students inn the area of research.  She is classified a                world leader in the topic of the research by her peers.
