Welcome to My Home Page

My name is Carl Rau. I am Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Rice University, Houston, TX, USA

I am teaching, researching and consulting in the areas of surface- and nanophysics, spintronics, nanomagnetism, non-volatile MRAM research, magnetic nano-sensors, domain wall propagation in arrays of magnetic nanowires, scanning tunneling microscopy, spin mapping of micromagnetic magnetization patterns by using scanning ion microscopy with polarization analysis (SIMPA), high-resolution magnetic domain imaging, nanolithography, focused ion beam (FIB) creation of nano-patterned magnetic systems,etc.. We are working in the Anderson Biology Laboratories in Room 219.

By the way, the name of our dog is Alex von Wyld Wings, and he is a well-trained German Short-Haired Pointer. His father's name is Hasko Rothenuffeln. He is a famous champion in Germany. His mother's name is Heidi von Boots. She is born here in the US.
