Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Stanford University Department of Physics is a 38-PI network with 12 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (60% of slots across 35 PIs; 35 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), and Black Holes and Theoretical Physics as the leading topic (8% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The leading PI names are Steven A. Kivelson (8.5 weighted works; Advanced Materials Characterization Techniques, Physics of Superconductivity and Magnetism). The clearest collaboration lines are Carl Wieman and Eric Burkholder (5 shared works, weight 4.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 6 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 6.9, around Condensed Matter Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, led by Steven A. Kivelson, Zhi‐Xun Shen, Andrew C. Yuan.
