Parallel Computing on a PC Cluster
The tremendous advance in computer technology in the past decade has made it possible to achieve the performance of a supercomputer on a very small budget. We have built a multi-CPU cluster of Pentium PC capable of parallel computations using the Message Passing Interface (MPI). We will discuss the configuration, performance, and application of the cluster to our work in physics.

Parallel Computing for QCD on a Pentium Cluster
Motivated by the computational demands of our research and budgetary constraints which are common to many research institutions, we built a ``poor man's supercomputer'', a cluster of PC nodes which together can perform parallel calculations at a fraction of the price of a commercial supercomputer. We describe the construction, cost, and performance of our cluster.

Magnetotunneling in a Two-Dimensional Electron-Hole System Near Equilibrium
We have measured the zero-bias differential tunneling conductance of InAs/AlSb/GaS b/AlSb/InAs heterostructures at low temperatures (1.7K < T < 60K) and unde r a magnetic field at various angles with the heterostructure's interfaces. Shubni kov-de Haas oscillations in the magnetoconductance reveal the two-dimensional (2D) character of the electrons accumulated at the InAs interfaces and yield their num ber in each of them. The temperature dependence of the oscillations suggests the f ormation of a field-induced energy gap at the Fermi level, similar to that observe d before in simpler 2D-2D tunneling systems. A calculation of the magnetoconductan ce that considers different 2D densities in the two InAs electrodes agrees with th e main observations, but fails to explain features that might be related to the pr esence of 2D holes in the GaSb region.

Observation of magnetic order in La_{1.9}Sr_{0.1}CuO_{4} from two-magnon Raman scattering
We reported two-magnon Raman scattering from La_{1.9}Sr_{0.1}CuO_4, which has a suppressed Tc=12 K, as the temperature is lowered below 37 K and an ordered spin phase is formed. The two-magnon Raman intensity increases with decreasing temperature. The magnetic scattering in La_{1.9}Sr_{0.1}CuO_4 is totally different from that reported in the parent compound La_2CuO_4. We analyze the line shape of the two-magnon scattering within the traditional Loudon-Fleury theory and find the superexchange constant J=1052 cm^{-1}. The calculation of the frequency moment suggests that the quantum fluctuations are very weak in the system. The room temperature Raman scattering from La_2CuO_4 is also measured. Strong features appear in the one-phonon spectrum at the frequencies of the longitudinal optical (LO) infrared modes which we suggest become Raman active through a Fröhlich-interaction.
