Scanning probe microscopy measurements provide detailed characterization of materials properties on the atomic scale. In particular, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is capable of imaging the atomic lattice of a material, while scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) reveals its atomic-scale electronic structure.

Research in our group will focus on the atomic-scale characterization and control of exotic electronic states of matter in a wide variety of vdW materials and heterostructures. Delivery of the STM is anticipated in summer 2020, so check back for updates.
