Thank you for visiting the Website for Dr. Allen Mills at the University of California at Riverside. Please click on a link to the left for one of Dr. Mills current Project Labs.

Prof. Mills has pioneered several techniques in the field of positron physics including the single crystal negative affinity positron moderator (1978,9), brightness enhancement of slow positron beams (1980) and the rare gas solid moderator (1986). He is currently working on applying these techniques to the problem of obtaining a Bose-Einstein condensed gas of positronium atoms. He is also interested in defect spectroscopy, is preparing with Prof. Tom to study the dynamics of laser exploded thin foils using a newly assembled microprobe funded by the National Science Foundation under grant DMR-0216927.

Prof. Mills has worked on various experimental aspects of DNA computation since 1996. Most recently he was part of the team lead by Bernard Yurke of Bell Laboratories that developed a molecular-size machine made from DNA molecules that operates using DNA as a fuel.

Prof Mills is also interested in certain aspects of semiconductor physics and is currently involved with Prof. Yarmoff and Prof. Haddon in implementing the idea of Contactless Organic Semiconductor devices for low-cost high speed laminated electronics with support from UCRs Center for Nanoscale Innovation for Defense (CNID) and DOD/DARPA/DMEA under Award No. DMEA90-02-2-0216.
