Low Temperature Transport Measurement System for Superconducting and Magnetic Topological Devices
Abstract
Low Temperature Transport Measurement System for Superconducting and Magnetic Topological DevicesObjective:To acquire and develop a low-temperature transport measurement system that will support research at the cutting-edge of nanoscale quantum device technolog"y.Approach:PI s research program focuses on the transport behavior of topological systems, which exhibit novel properties such as"" dissipationless edge states and Majorana excitations. Part of the new system, a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator, will enable dev""elopment and testing of new configurations of topologicaldevices, where behaviors such as quantized Majorana resonances and topolog""ical phase transitions are expected to appear in ultra-low noise, ultra-low temperature conditions. The other part of the new system"", a 3-axis vector magnet, will enable the study of topological superconductivity, as wellas the development of a novel low-power ul""tra-fast on-chip inductor, based on a hybrid magnetic topological system.SOW:PI will acquire, install, test and further develop a"nd functionalities to the proposed instrumentation and use it to carry out scientific experiments. Navy Relevance:The requested instrumentation will have positive impact on an on-going BRC program that is focused on the areas of quantum computation and topological electronics.
