About Prof. Giovanni Hearne

Expertise: 57-Fe and 119-Sn Mössbauer-effect Spectroscopy at variable cryogenic temperatures (down to 1.5 K) and high pressures (up to one megabar). High pressure physics (diamond- and gem- anvil cells, DACs and GACs).  Laser spectroscopy, XRD and Conductivity at high pressures. CO2 laser heating in DACs. Lattice-dynamics, superconductivity, magnetism, magnetic-electronic (insulator-metal and spin- state) transitions (in strongly correlated electron systems SCES), materials science. Instrumentation physics (electronics). Synchrotron techniques (XRD, XAS, Nuclear Resonance Spectroscopy) applications at high pressure.
