Welcome to QESI Lab!
The goal of our lab, at the University of Florida in Electrical and Computer Engineering, is to design and develop new functional materials and devices for advanced electronic, spintronic & quantum application, mainly using experiments & simulations.
We use
Quantum Devices Towards Ultralow-Power, Ultrafast and Scalable electronics
Our toolbox includes:
👏Designer quantum devices, e.g. interface engineering between a ferromagnetic thin film and a transition metal dichalcogenide with strong spin orbit coupling
👏Large-scale exfoliation (mm-cm), Sputtering, nanofabrication and characterizations
👏High-quality device assembly inside glove box; Circuit and architecture level fabrication and micromagnetic simulation
👏Electric/spin transport and capacitance measurements, high-resolution ultrafast optical measurements (Kerr effect)
👏Extreme conditions: high magnetic fields and ultralow temperatures + Magnetic imaging includes Magnetic force microscopy, Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy, Neutron Diffraction, NV Sensing… Through collaborations with National Laboratory & Universities…
