Experimental Condensed Matter Physics Lab

Denis Bandurin group at the National University of Singapore

Our group explores the properties of novel quantum materials using variable temperature electron transport experiments in the presence of strong magnetic fields and subjected to mid- and far-IR radiation. 

Novel materials and nanofabrication

For the exploration of novel phenomena in quantum materials we develop and apply new methods in the nanofabrication of devices. In addition to conventional nanofabrication methods such as e-beam lithography, reactive ion etching, and thin film deposition, this also includes novel protocols of van der Waals heterostructures assembly in the inert argon environment, He+ ion beam patterning and AFM-based lithography. 

Electron transport under THz drive

Our approach combines novel nanofabrication techniques with cryogenic magneto-transport experiments in the presence of strong THz and IR drive. Using the multi-messenger method we access the electrodynamic, magnetic, and thermal properties of novel material platforms. 

Applications of quantum materials

We explore the opportunities for a practical application of the new effects discovered in novel low-dimensional material platforms: from sensitive THz sensors and cameras to single-photon detectors and tunnel-field effect transistors.
