Research Areas:
Examples of research areas are non-equilibrium growth
and etching of metal and semiconductor films, magnetism of ultrathin magnetic
films and dots, transport properties of metallic and magnetic films and nanotubes,
fabrication and growth mechanism of sculpture films. The lab has been equipped with
state of the art commercial and homemade techniques for fabrication and characterization
of novel nanostructures. Examples of real space and diffraction techniques are scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), nanolithography, high
resolution low energy electron diffraction (HRLEED), energy filtered reflection
high energy electron diffraction (EFRHEED), angle resolved light scattering
(ARLS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS), four point probe, magneto optic Kerr effect (MOKE), magnetoresistance,
and ferromagnetic resonance. Examples of growth/etching techniques include
thermal evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, glazing
angle incidence deposition, and ion sputtering.
