Ian Affleck

Research Activities:

My research interests include high-Tc superconductivity, low dimensional magnetism, quantum wires and quantum dots.  I began my research career in high energy theory and often apply techniques from this field to condensed matter problems.  For instance, I showed how conformal field theory, one of the building blocks of string theory, can be applied to experimentally relevant problems involving low dimensional magnetism and impurities in metals.

All my papers since 1994 are available on the preprint archive.
