Professor Heiman's research group focuses on several challenging and technologically important areas:

(1)  Semiconductor and Magnetic Nanostructures
(2)  Ferromagnetic Semiconductors (e.g. GaMnAs and Co₂MnAl)
(3)  Materials and Devices for spintronic applications
(4)  Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) Crystal Growth
(5)  Device Engineering for Information Technology.

The group's primary experimental techniques are: electrical, optical, and magnetic measurements in high magnetic fields and at low temperatures.  Facilities include: MBE machine; SEM (1nm resolution); 5 T SQUID magnetometer; high field magnets (9.5 T optical magnet and 14 T cryogen-free superconducting magnet); and optical nanoscope (NSOM). Research projects and instrumentation are supported by the National Science Foundation and the University.
