New Quantum Phenomena by Combining 2D Materials with Complex Oxides

Abstract

This project focused on forming clean interfaces between exfoliated 2D materials and epitaxial oxides with the goal of determining the extent to which the electronic and magnetic properties of the former are influenced by the latter. Clear effects were observed in both device structures for which electronic transport properties were measured and unpatterned interfaces interrogated by polarized light to determine magnetic dichroic response. This work resulted in one paper already published and two others to be written, pending the outcome of ongoing experiments and theoretical calculations
