Spin Detector for low-temperature ARPES and time-resolved studies of quantum materials

本提案是购买一个莫特自旋探测器，用于高分辨率研究新型量子材料的电子结构，具有前所未有的自旋极化能力。这是由Damascelli， Bonn， Jones和Sawatzky在UBC量子材料实验室领导的一项合作努力，在过去的十年中，由于之前的NSERC和CFI数百万美元的投资，该实验室已经开发了世界级的基于激光的角分辨光发射光谱（ARPES）基础设施。该设施已经在高tc超导体、拓扑绝缘体以及碳基材料的研究方面取得了重大突破——最近首次展示了锂修饰单层石墨烯的超导性——所有这些都是技术上重要的量子材料。

This proposal is for the purchase of a Mott Spin Detector for high-resolution studies of the electronic structure of novel quantum materials, with unprecedented spin-polarization capabilities. This is a collaborative effort led by Damascelli, Bonn, Jones, and Sawatzky within the Quantum Materials Laboratory at UBC, where a world-class infrastructure for laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) has been developed over the past decade, owing to previous NSERC and CFI multimillion dollar investments. This facility has already provided major breakthroughs in the study of high-Tc superconductors, topological insulators, as well as in carbon-based materials – with the recent first ever demonstration of superconductivity in Li-decorated monolayer graphene – all technologically important quantum materials.
