Suhl is a specialist in [[statistical mechanics]], [[non-equilibrium thermodynamics]], and [[solid-state physics]], particularly [[superconductivity]]. Several phenomena he discovered or explained have been named for him. His explanation of nonlinear effects in [[ferromagnetic resonance]] in known as the Suhl instability, and one of the major sources of broadening of [[nuclear magnetic resonance]] lines in magnetically ordered media is known as the Suhl-Nakamura interaction). A particular divergence in the calculated properties of dilute magnetic alloys is known as the Abrikosov-Suhl resonance.
With William Shockley in 1948, Suhl contributed to fundamental aspects of charge carried dynamics in
semiconductors. In 1953, he and Larry R. Walker developed a detailed analysis of wave propagation in
waveguides loaded with gyromagnetic and gyroelectric media, pertaining to certain microwave devices. Suhl
gave the definitive explanation of nonlinear effects in ferromagnetic resonance (the Suhl instability) in '55/,56,
a subject that has recently proliferated. The principles involved led Suhl to patent a ferromagnetic parametric
amplifier in 1956. This work stimulated wide utilization of parametric amplification, in general. In 1957, Suhl,
and, independently, T. Nakamura, uncovered a major source of broadening of nuclear magnetic resonance
lines in magnetically ordered media (the Suhl-Nakamura interaction).

Between 1957 and 1965, Suhl contributed to certain aspects of superconductivity theory (e.g., the so-called
two-band model). In 1965, the and, independently, A.A. Abrikosov, resolved apparent divergences in the
calculated properties of dilute magnetic alloys, attributing them to a particular resonance (the Abrikosov-
Suhl resonance). In the 1970's and 80's he worked in surface physics and catalysis and studied
reaction kinetics, in circumstances in which the traditional Kramers-Eyring approach fails. He continues to
lead an active research group, including PhD students, at UCSD.
