Correlated Electrons
& Scanning Probe Microscopy

Jenny Hoffman joined the Harvard physics department as an assistant professor in January 2005. Research in our laboratory revolves around scanning probe microscopies of novel materials. We are designing and constructing three low-temperature microscopes to measure nanoscale electronic and magnetic propoerties. Our initial efforts are: scanning tunneling microscopy of unconventional superconductors (including high temperature superconductors and the quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductors), spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy of nanoscale magnetic materials, and magnetic force microscopy of vortex systems.
