Professor Saslow's current research interests include:
magnetism in thin films;
charge transport in multi-carrier systems (including semiconductors, mixed ionic-electronic conductors, and biological systems);
electrical properties of small systems (e.g., quantum dots, buckyballs, thin wires, nanotubes);
mass loading of mixed ionic electronic conductors;
electrical screening at semiconductor surfaces.
He has also worked on:
random magnetic systems (spin glasses, disordered ferromagnets, and re-entrant spin glasses);
superfluidity in 3He and 4He;
and transport processes at low temperatures.
Personal Text:Professor Saslow joined the Texas A&M faculty in 1971. He received a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.S. from the University of California at Berkeley and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Irvine, and was a Research Associate at the University of Pittsburgh. Since arriving at Texas A&M, he has held visiting faculty positions at the University of Michigan and the University of Paris at Orsay. He has also been a consultant to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
In 1995, Professor Saslow received a Faculty Distinguished Achievement Award in Teaching from the Association of Former Students. He has written Electricity, Magnetism, and Light,an introductory textbook that was published by Academic-Elsevier in February of 2002. During the 2002-2003 academic year he was on faculty development leave at the National Institutes of Health Laboratory for Physical and Structural Biology.
