Welcome to the research group of Q-Materials @ UCR!

Our research emphasizes on emerging quantum coherent phenomena in low-dimensional materials. We aim to enhance the life-time of the quantum states, including orbital, spin etc., of charge carriers e.g. electrons in solid state systems so that quantum coherence becomes robust and free from material imperfections. In particular, we thrive to create novel topologically protected quasiparticles by combining electron correlation, topological order and dimensionality under atomic level at the ultra-clean interface of material heterostructures. Understanding and controlling such topological quantum particles is our goal. Our lab features two molecular beam epitaxy systems (MBE) that allow us to synthesize sophisticated heterostructures among materials having drastically dislike properties. One of the MBE, a hybrid system, together with a custom designed glove box have the capability of producing nano-scale devices in-situ assisted by ultra-high vacuum suitcases. We study the quantum phenomena at mK temperature and high magnetic field.
