"Thermodynamic and Transport Measurements of Correlated Electron Systems at Ultra-low Temperatures"

该项目最初涉及设计，建造和测试一个多功能和模块化平台，用于测量温度低于1K的热容量，热功率和热传输。一旦完成，这些扩展的实验能力将用于研究相关电子系统领域的一些主题系统，主要是近藤绝缘系统。一个主要的目标将是寻找证据的非常规的基态在这些系统中的大部分拓扑绝缘行为的存在。

The project initially involves designing, constructing and testing a multifunctional and modular platform for measurements of heat capacity, thermopower and thermal transport at temperatures below 1K. Once completed, these extended experimental capabilities will be used to investigate a number of topical systems in the field of correlated electron systems, primarily in Kondo insulating systems. A prime objective will be to search for evidence for unconventional ground states in the bulk of these systems in the presence of topological insulating behavior.
