You will have a chance to work on a state-of-the-art 4-probe scanning tunneling microscope combined with ultrafast optical excitation.
The experimental work ranges from manipulation of matter with light to atomic-scale manipulation with precisely enginnered tips with superconducting or magnetic properties.
Possible experiments:
- Searching for conceptually new states created strongly out of equilibrium in STM
- Picosecond time resolved microscopy on atomic scale with THz gated STM
- Quantum spin liquids studies with spin-polarized STM
- Multiprobe investigation of quantum states on nanoscale
