An insulator is usually described as a material with completely filled electronic bands that do not contribute to any interesting transport behavior.

The Materials Research Facilities Network (MRFN) has recently been established and is currently in operation at ca. 50% of MRSEC sites. The goal of the MRFN is to maximize the usage of MRSEC facilities and is directed towards the efficient and strategic development of materials characterization within the United States.

Heterogeneous brittle solids such as ceramics, lamellar intermetallics, and olycrystalline hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) metals such as Zr, Zn and Cd are echnologically important and broadly used. Zirconium, for example, has a low bsorption cross section for neutrons, and is therefore used in nuclear energy pplications. Titanium aluminide (TiAl) is a candidate material for many
Background: The geometry of a nanoring magnet provides unique magnetic configurations of onion, vortex, and twisted, which can be exploited in nanoring magnetic tunnel junctions (NRMTJs) .
A Hele-Shaw system was used by University of Chicago MRSEC researchers, Sidney Nagel and Heinrich Jaeger and their research groups, to explore the zero-surface-tension properties of granular "fluids."Â’ Theoretically, it was determined by Paul Wiegmann, also at the
