Thank you for your response daveyrocket. Sorry, yes I meant condensed matter physics. I have been searching many of the major semiconductor companies job sites, but haven't had any luck with them to date. I was wondering if anyone knew of any smaller companies looking for CMP expertise where...

I don't know how much of a hurry you are into start a career, but have you thought of doing say a Master's in Medical Physics and a PhD in Astrophysics. That is of course assuming you are interested in pursuing a PhD in one of them. However, the others have offered good advice. Do your...

Hello, I recently graduated with an MS in CMP, and my research was in the production of and magnetic measurements of MgB2 and iron nanocomposites. I have been trying to find companies that would be interested in hiring a CMP masters graduate. Does anyone know any companies or national...

I thought I would post this in case anyone comes across this post in the future and is looking for a similar result. I found a paper that answers my question sufficiently. Markowitz, D. and Kadanoff, L. P. (1963). Effects of impurities upon critical temperature of anisotropic...

Thank you for your input. I am trying to get the sense for this... In a type II superconductor in the vortex state, impurities can act as pinning centers. However, with the addition of impurities/defects you reduce the mean free path by introducing additional scattering. As the Cooper pair is...

Hello, I have a question about how non-magnetic impurities affect the transition temperature in type II superconductors. I know that the impurities introduce additional scattering and therefore act to reduce Tc, but is there a simple formula that would relate the effect on Tc due to...
