Who is William A. Little?

William A. Little is Professor of Physics, Emeritus, of Stanford University.

Theoretical and experimental study of the basic science of superconductivity of organic, metal-organic, and high temperature ceramic superconductors, with the particular focus on understanding the mechanism responsible for the pairing interaction in each of these systems, using innovative optical and electrical techniques. This work usually involves the preparation, characterization and experimental study of such materials over a wide range of temperatures. The work in the group is characterized by an involvement of each student in both theoretical and experimental work. Other research involves the study of neural networks using methods of statistical mechanics, and the study of novel cryogenic cooling techniques.
