quantum transport in nanostructures
Our experimental research group studies physical properties of low dimensional condensed matter systems. We use advanced nanofabrication techniques combined with controlled sample growth to design and develop sub-micron devices. These devices will be used to explore microscopic mechanisms that influence and/or dictate the fundamental physical properties at the nanometer scale level.
We explore electron transport in superconducting wires, CDW materials, oxide nanomaterials under extreme physical conditions: ultra low temperatures (10 mK), high magnetic fields (16 T) and a.c. electric fields (~GHz). Some of our physics interests include quantum phase transitions (e.g. superconductor-insulator transition), conduction in superconducting wires, phase transition in single nanowires, microwave spectroscopy to study collective phases in graphene monolayers, superconducting films etc.
