A platform for probing nanoscale magnetic states under multiple actuations

该装置提供了独特的能力来研究自旋与电荷和晶格的相互作用，在不同温度下的光照、机械应力和电压的外部刺激下，在广泛的功能材料中。精密激光磁场测量和视频率克尔显微镜被集成在一个磁光克尔效应(MOKE)系统中。该平台还旨在提供光磁圆二色谱(OMCD)来评估半导体和生物医学材料的电子结构。它将促进学术界和产业界之间的多学科研究合作，以推进下一代自旋电子学、光电子学、能量转换和存储以及生物医学技术。

The proposed facility offers unique capabilities to investigate the interactions of spin with charge and lattice under external stimuli of light illumination, mechanical stress and voltage bias at various temperatures in a wide range of functional materials. Precise laser magnetometry and video-rate Kerr microscopy are integrated in a single magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) system. This platform also aims to provide optical magnetic circular dichroism (OMCD) to assess electronic structures of semiconductors and biomedical materials. It will facilitate multidisciplinary research collaborations between academics and industries to advance next-generation spintronics, optoelectronics, energy conversion and storage, and biomedical technologies.
