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

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.
