Professor Sarachik has received international recognition for her research. Funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, this research takes place in a low-temperature laboratory on the second floor of the Robert E. Marshak (Science) Building at City College. With students, postdoctoral Research Associates, and an occasional Visiting Scholar, she has studied the electrical and magnetic properties of metallic alloys, semi-conductors, and molecular nanomagnets at temperatures down to 0.05 Kelvin degrees above absolute zero. In addition to the usual electronic equipment commonly found in laboratories, the techniques required to reach milliKelvin temperatures require cryogenic liquids and specialized apparatus for storing, handling, transferring and using the cryogens.
