Quantum Materials and Devices Laboratory (QMDL)
The QMDL is an interdisciplinary laboratory, focused on the quantum transport and optoelectronic properties of emergent quantum materials. We grow high-quality bulk crystals of quantum materials, we exfoliate the crystals to obtain one or a few layers of atomically thin materials. Then, we assemble new materials by stacking together two or more different quantum materials.…
