Project description

The aim of this project is to develop a two dimensional lateral superlattice gating technique for atomically thin two dimensional materials such as bilayer graphene aiming to form a flat band in the energy spectrum to observe and study strongly correlated phases in transport measurements at low temperatures. The results can shed light on fundamental questions in solid state physics such as mechanisms of high temperature superconductivity but can also have practical applications including quantum sensing and quantum computing. This project is an extension of the current Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Future Low Energy Electronics project and involves strong collaboration with School of Physics at UNSW Sydney.

Desired background

A BSc in Physics, experience with cryogenics and device fabrication is desirable. The successful applicant would need to meet the Australian Government H1E standards and UNSW entry standards.
