Research in this group will revolve around scanning probe microscopies of novel materials, with an initial focus on scanning tunneling microscopy of unconventional superconductors.
The group's first project will be the construction of a low temperature, high magnetic field, scanning tunneling microscope. This STM will be used initially to investigate the field-dependent properties of vortices in high-Tc superconductors, to study vortex response to applied currents, and to investigate the rich phase diagram and possible triplet superconductivity in the organic superconductor (TMTSF)2ClO4.
