Lab Research
Our lab conducts highly interdisciplinary research at the forefront of materials science, condensed
matter physics, and electrical engineering. The experimental work includes materials synthesis using
solid-state growth techniques including molecular
beam epitaxy and e-beam evaporation. We then characterize our materials using advanced techniques
ranging from electron microscopy to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, and
femtosecond Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy
(fs-UPS). Our materials will be then integrated into solid-state devices such as Hall bars, Josephson
junctions, Schottky diodes, etc. In order to probe the physics of the materials system under study we
then cool down our devices in our
dry refrigerators down to 1.5K and probe the properties under external magnetic/electric fields.
