Ultra low temperature scanning gate facility for study of advanced nanostructure devices and materials: Electronic devices and materials underpin a range of significant industries worldwide. However while there are numerous techniques for imaging the structure of a material, including X-rays, electron microscopy, atom probe tomography, and nuclear scattering, none allow us to see how the electrons and holes move inside a material or device. This project will create a new scanning gate microscope facility for imaging electrical current flow in advanced quantum devices and the new generation of topological insulators and atomically thin crystals such as graphene. The project will stimulate new studies of the next generation of electronic materials and devices, providing the underpinning knowledge for the future development of post silicon electronics.

用于研究先进纳米结构器件和材料的超低温扫描栅设备：电子器件和材料支撑着全球范围内的一系列重要行业。然而，虽然有许多技术可以对材料的结构进行成像，包括x射线、电子显微镜、原子探针断层扫描和核散射，但没有一种技术能让我们看到电子和空穴在材料或设备内部的运动。该项目将创建一个新的扫描门显微镜设备，用于成像先进量子器件中的电流流动，以及新一代拓扑绝缘体和石墨烯等原子薄晶体。该项目将刺激下一代电子材料和器件的新研究，为后硅电子的未来发展提供基础知识。
