Quantum Materials and Technologies
Quantum materials are solids with exotic physical properties that arise from the interactions of their electrons, beginning at atomic and subatomic scales where the extraordinary effects of quantum mechanics cause unique and unexpected behaviors [1]. Motivated by their high potential for future quantum technologies, we aim to understand emergent phenomena in quantum materials and to engineer novel quantum states.
Landscaping Quantum Materials
By utilizing state-of-the-art experimental techniques including, but not limited to angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and x-ray scattering (XRS), we landscape quantum materials, characterizing and engineering emergent phenomena such as magnetic orders, superconductivity, density wave orders.
Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES)
ARPES is based on the photoelectric effect, in which light is used to liberate electrons from a material such that their pre-emission energy and momentum distributions can be determined [2].
