Funded Activity Summary
Ultra low temperature scanning gate facility for study of advanced nanostructure devices and materials. Ultra low temperature scanning gate facility for study of advanced nanostructure devices and materials: Electronic devices and materials underpin a range of significant industries worldwide. However while there are numerous techniques for imaging the structure of a material, including X-rays, electron microscopy, atom probe tomography, and nuclear scattering, none allow us to see how the electrons and holes move inside a material or device. This project will create a new scanning gate microscope facility for imaging electrical current flow in advanced quantum devices and the new generation of topological insulators and atomically thin crystals such as graphene. The project will stimulate new studies of the next generation of electronic materials and devices, providing the underpinning knowledge for the future development of post silicon electronics.Funded Activity Details
