Magneto-Optical Confocal Microscope for Exploring Opto-Electronic Nanomaterial Hybrids and Heterostructures
Abstract
Magneto-Optical Confocal Microscope for Exploring Opto-Electronic Nanomaterial Hybrids and HeterostructuresObjective: To acquire" a cryogenic magneto-optical confocal microscope that will combine low-temperature, high-magnetic fields, and high-resolution micros"copy for exploring nano-scale materials and heterostructures.Approach:Proposed instrumentation will enable application of a wide" range of optical and electronic environments and stimuli, allowing simultaneous exploration of the magnetic, optical, superconducti""ng, and structural properties emerging in hybridnanomaterials.SOW:PI will acquire, install and test the instrumentation and carr"y out experiments using the equipment for nanomaterials characterization. Navy Relevance:It is anticipated that this new instrumentation will enable a long-term experimental program in characterization of highly customized nanoscale materials with unique and fa"vorable properties for opto-electronics, thereby driving future quantum and nanoelectronics research broadly relevant to DoD researc""h programs and initiatives. The flexibility, expandability, and widefeature set of the proposed equipment will contribute to the tr""aining of graduate and undergraduate students in nanoelectronics and optics techniques, helping to build a technical workforce with" skills relevant to DoD scientific interests.
