Thrust 1: Fundamental Investigation of New Quantum Materials
Thrust 1 Leader: Dr. Doyle Temple
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
Brief description of objectives and measurements
Cobalt monosilicide (CoSi) crystalizes in a chiral structure in the P213 space group. Recently, Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations are measured AT NHMFL using the contactless-conductivity method. A coil comprising 10 turns of 46-gauge high-conductivity copper wire is wound about the single-crystal sample. The coil forms part of a proximity detector oscillator circuit.
Thrust 2: Investigation of Quantum Plasmonics for Sensing and Reaction Control
Thrust 2 Leader: Dr. Natalia Noginova
Plasmonic lasers operating in weak and strong coupling regimes
In this effort, we will study a variety of plasmonic and cavity based nanoscopic lasers and strongly coupled spontaneous emission sources, looking for signatures of coherence, Bose-Einstein condensation and polaritonic lasing.
Exploring Effects of Spin Angular Momentum Transfer from Light to Matter
(a) Electric fields and direction of rotation in SPP propagating at the metal-dielectric interface(b) Torque t and effective forces associated with SAM absorption in a non-magnetic material; (c) Possible scenario when SAM absorption torque results in electron spin polarization instead of effective spin forces.
Thrust 3: Investigation of Quantum Device Manufacturing Technology
Thrust 3 Leader: Dr. Hargsoon Yoon
Quantum Dot Based Sensor Development
The goal of this work to fabricate a detector using e-beam lithography process that can be utilized through multiple bands of the IR spectrum, on various substrate systems. Additionally, we can explore the effects of flexible (organic) substrates on device behavior.
