Ultracold Field Gradient Magnetometry and Transport to Study Correlated Topological Phases

Abstract

The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. The technical purpose of this DURIP is to acquire instruments for the design and development of a unique ultra-low temperature electrical transport and magnetometry instrument that allows for the transfer of samples from a deposition chamber without exposing the samples to air. A unique load lock for a dilution refrigerator, a state of the art superconducting magnet enabling magnetic field gradients, and associated components will be acquired. These elements will be incorporated into existing instrumentation and utilized in developing the unique measurement capability sought by the principle investigator.
