The Young lab combines nanofabrication and electronic measurement techniques to investigate the properties of electronic states in quantum materials. Currently, we are interested in the interplay between symmetry, topology, and correlations in low dimensional systems, particularly the emergence of superconductivity, magnetism, and fractionalization.
Our approach combines novel heterostructure fabrication techniques with cryogenic measurements designed to access the subtle electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties of these fragile electronic states. By combining two dimensional crystals into nanofabricated “van der Waals heterostructures”, we can engineer electronic structure while simultaneously enabling measurements to probe thermodynamic and transport properties. Outlines of several projects can be found below.
