Imaging Quantum Materials at the Atomic Scale
About

The current frontier of condensed matter physics involves various quantum states of materials that emerge from electron-electron interactions, the topology of electronic wavefunctions, and/or dimensional constraints. These phases of matter can host novel electronic, magnetic or optical properties, but how exactly they come out is usually difficult to understand or predict. With high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth, we aim to visualize, understand and manipulate the collective electronic behavior of these complex systems at the atomic scale.

Openings

We are currently seeking motivated postdocs to join the team. Candidates with strong experience in molecular beam epitaxy techniques are encouraged to apply. Scientific interest in correlated electron systems and topological superconductors is a plus. Please send an email to Dr. Wang with your CV (zywang2 at ustc.edu.cn).

We warmly welcome graduate students and undergraduate interested in many-body and topological physics as well as scanning probe microscopy to join our research team at USTC.
