MULTIDIMENSIONAL PROBE OF NEXT GENERATION HETEROSTRUCTURES
Abstract
We propose to build a multidimensional probe of next generation heterostructures, combining Raman, Kerr and Mid-IR optoelectronics microscopes with a highly stable, moagneto-optical, closed closed cycle UHV cryostat. This state of the art end station will be the first of its kind to expand vacuum suitcase technology to simultaneously probe magnetic, thermal, electronic, and lattice properties in 2D atomic crystals and thin films. As part of the project a new commercial cryostat of use in many areas important to the DOD will be developed. Indeed, quantum materials crucial to future sensors and computing platforms demand understanding how various parameters couple to produce novel behavior. Recently many new exiting capabilities have emerged in materials and heterostructures that are extremely air sensitive. The new system will build on the PI’s recent accomplishments in developing a closed-cycle Raman microscope in collaboration with Montana Instruments, as well as a cleanroom in a glovebox. Many groups in physics, chemistry, and biology currently use the PI’s equipment, and would greatly benefit from measuring cutting-edge materials for sensing, energy storage, emergent phenomena and biosensing at low temperatures and in magnetic field.
