      " Experiments at Small Length-Scales in Condensed Room J418 Matter Systems"    
             
      ABSTRACT    
        In all physical systems in order to examine certain properties or produce specific manipulations of the material the tool used must work at a length-scale smaller than some fundamental property length-scale of the system. The objective in our work is to use conventional small-scale fabrication tools and/or develop new small-scale tools to examine and explore condensed matter systems. As examples I will review our results in four such efforts: small wavelength surface acoustic wave studies of the correlated 2D-electron gas, light propagation in photonic band-gap devices, dephasing measurements in molecular scale metallic wires, and molecular conduction studies using electromigration or MBE generated small gaps.
