Associate Professor of Physics, Ph.D., Rice University, 1986

Dr. Lind is an experimentalist and surface scientist specializing in materials synthesis and magnetic characterization, such as the use of Molecular Beam Epitaxy to engineer artificial phases of materials, especially highly ordered thin films and superlattices of metal oxides. He is also interested in surface and thin-film magnetism, using spin-resolved electron, neutron, and x-ray diffraction-based probes to study structural ordering and magnetic coupling at surfaces, in thin-films, and in layered structures. Dr. Lind's recent research emphasis has been on the study of exchange-biasing and half-metallic ferromagnetism in oxidic single-crystalline multilayers such as Fe3O4/NiO and CrO2.

Professor Lind is also the senior author of the lab manual currently used at Florida State University for the AST 1002L lab class.
