In Lab building West at ISTA we will develop a new laboratory for optical investigations of symmetry. We will combine sensitive polarimetry with low temperatures, temporal and spatial resolution, uniaxial strain, vector magnetic fields and electrical contacts. Our lab will be very flexible, allowing us the freedom to choose among a broad range of research themes, and to adapt our approach to new discoveries.
We are fortunate to be in the same building as ISTA’s state-of-the-art nanofabrication facility, which we plan to make good use of! We will use optical and Raman spectrometers, the physical property measurement system (PPMS), the focused ion beam system, and others!
In addition to our lab and the in-house nanofabriaction facility, we will apply for time at international synchrotrons, primarily at angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) beamlines.
