Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (B06)

Subject Area Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term since 2016
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 277146847
 

Project Description

Objective of the project is to investigate, manipulate, and control new correlated states and their phases in topological and two-dimensional materials on the local scale. To this end, strategies that go beyond conventional scanning tunneling spectroscopy will be employed: in situ growth of the materials under ultra-high vacuum, contactless doping and electrostatic gating, spin-polarized tunneling spectroscopy at variable magnetic fields, atomic manipulation, and local investigations in hybrid devices.
