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

该项目最初包括设计、建造和测试一个多功能的模块化平台，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被用于研究相关电子系统领域的一些主题系统，主要是在近藤绝缘系统中。一个主要目标将是在存在拓扑绝缘行为的情况下，在这些系统的大部分中寻找非传统基态的证据。

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.
