Research Summary

Professor Greytak's research interests are in the area of experimental low temperature condensed matter physics, in particular superfluid systems. He has used Brillouin and Raman spectrocopy to study superfluid 4He and 3He-4He solutions. He currently collaborates with Professor Daniel Kleppner on studies of ultra cold atomic hydrogen, including Bose-Einstein condensation in hydrogen.
