STIR: Imaging nonlocal electronic transport with the SQCRAMscope
Abstract
Our program seeks to apply the novel capabilities of our new quantum sensor to the imaging of nonlocal transport in quantum materials. We will seek to image turbulent, nonlocal flow in the electron hydrodynamic transport of graphene and PdCoO2 as well as to image nonlocal transport in sliding CDW tritelluride materials. This work couples strongly to AROÕs Solid State and Electromagnetics program, specifically by aiding the goal of discovering Ôunique electromagnetic phenomena in solid-state materials and structures.Õ The SQCRAMscope, Scanning Quantum Cryogenic Atom Microscope, uses an atomic BEC for cryogenic vector-resolved scanning probe microscopy of magnetic fields. It has the demonstrated capability of imaging transport in cryogenically cooled solid-state samples. As such, it opens a new frontier in the quantum sensing of electronic materials and is the first example of the direct marriage of ultracold AMO physics with condensed matter physics for the exploration of strongly correlated and topologically nontrivial materials.
