Summary
A platform for probing nanoscale magnetic states under multiple actuations. The proposed facility offers unique capabilities to investigate the interactions of spin with charge and lattice under external stimuli of light illumination, mechanical stress and voltage bias at various temperatures in a wide range of functional materials. Precise laser magnetometry and video-rate Kerr microscopy are integrated in a single magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) system. This platform also aims to provide opti ....A platform for probing nanoscale magnetic states under multiple actuations. The proposed facility offers unique capabilities to investigate the interactions of spin with charge and lattice under external stimuli of light illumination, mechanical stress and voltage bias at various temperatures in a wide range of functional materials. Precise laser magnetometry and video-rate Kerr microscopy are integrated in a single magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) system. This platform also aims to provide optical magnetic circular dichroism (OMCD) to assess electronic structures of semiconductors and biomedical materials. It will facilitate multidisciplinary research collaborations between academics and industries to advance next-generation spintronics, optoelectronics, energy conversion and storage, and biomedical technologies.Read moreRead less
