Emergent phenomena in Quantum Materials,
including unique states of matter and phase transitions.
OPEN POSITIONS IN OUR LAB:
We currently have two RA positions in our group. Contact: aharonk@stanford.edu
Condensed Matter Physics
Our group focuses on the discovery and understanding of the nature, causes and consequences of emergent behavior in strongly-correlated quantum materials, especially superconductivity and magnetism. We particularly interested in low dimensional systems, topological states, and the effects of disorder.
- We fabricate samples and devices as well as collaborate with world leading laboratories to obtain highest quality samples.
- We use a variety of experimental techniques to study transport, thermodynamic, optical, and magnetic properties, while often utilizing unique probes such as scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, high-resolution mageneto-optics, photothermal microscopy, or ultra-sensitive torque magnetometry, all of which are home-built for optimal performance.
Fundamental Physics at the Table-top
We also use our expertise to build table-top experiments, including tests for Newton's gravity at the 50 µm scale and Search for 0.1 - 10 meV axions.
