(DURIP) INSTRUMENTATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPIN-RESOLVED ULTRAFAST ELECTRON DIFFRACTION
Abstract
We propose to acquire instrumentation for the development of a novel technique that will address whether a low-dimensional topological material is suitable to serve as a host platform for quantum computing based on spin qubits. A comprehensive experimental tool, termed spin-polarized ultrafast electron diffraction, will detect spin dynamics details in both topological and strongly correlated electron systems. The instrumentation will help address the timely and critical problem of determining how the spin-lattice interaction in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides affects spin decoherence and, ultimately, the quantum computing capabilities of the material. In addition, the ability to simultaneously measure spin- and time-resolved lattice dynamics stands to open a new approach to the difficult problem of disentangling charge, spin, orbital and lattice quantum channels of correlated materials.
