Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (B06)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 277146847

Objective of the project is to investigate, manipulate, and control new correlated states and their phases in topological and two-dimensional materials on the local scale. To this end, strategies that go beyond conventional scanning tunneling spectroscopy will be employed: in situ growth of the materials under ultra-high vacuum, contactless doping and electrostatic gating, spin-polarized tunneling spectroscopy at variable magnetic fields, atomic manipulation, and local investigations in hybrid devices.
