Imaging Technology
A developing initiative builds upon NJIT's nationally recognized work in infrared imaging technology, applying it to the promising area of infrared solar physics. State-of-the-art infrared imaging devices are being developed and tested as part of an IR telescope system to be installed at a national observatory.
Surface Physics
Visiting scientist Professor Xia from Beijing University, China, works in the surface science laboratory at Rutgers- Newark.
This area focuses on research on laser-induced physical processes on surfaces. One area of current interest is laser stimulated desorption ad atoms on S.E. ion surface.
Biophysics
One area of great current interest involves the use of stable isotope tracers for medical diagnostics. Another is the development of microsensors to probe non-linear auditory response in mammals.
Discharge Physics
Research on glow discharges for plasma processing of semiconductors and other materials is being carried out under an NSF-sponsored program. Related studies on VUV light sources and unique laser pumping schemes are also underway.
