In addition to the 4K STM capabilities, we successfully added another ultra-low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) system, achieved by dilution refrigeration technology, helping us delve into the local electronic structure of quantum materials and atomic-scale quantum systems.Our tailored low-vibration environment ensures optimal conditions for precise measurements, and we achieve an exceptional energy resolution of 43 μeV (144 mK), promising for the investigation and control of quantum matter at atomic length scales.
Read moreComplementary to the study of materials' surfaces in quantitative local-probe spectroscopy by STM/STS, we also investigate the physics of nanostructures and nanodevices in electron transport spectroscopy.
Read moreScanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is the only experimental technique which uniquely combines atomic-resolution imaging of materials' surfaces with the ability to manipulate matter at the atomic-scale. We use low-temperature (LT-STM) in ultra-high vacuum to study the atomic and electronic structure of two-dimensional (2D) and topological materials, and combine these with atomic-precision atomic manipulation and lithography schemes.
