Quantum Transport

Our quantum transport experiments focus on the generation and manipulation of spin-polarized currents (spin valve devices) and electron/hole pairs (photovoltaic devices and photodetectors). Individual nanosheets provided with e-beam lithographically defined metal contacts are routinely investigated by DC probe or AC measurements (or a combination thereof). These experiments are performed using a back gate or top gate configuration, within  a temperature range of between 300 mK and room temperature, and under externally applied magnetic fields of up to 15 T.
