Our group studies quantum transport in nano-meter scale structures made of superconducting, normal, and magnetic materials. We use tools like e-beam and optical lithography to fabricate devices with characteristic sizes as small as 10 nm.  Processing of these devices is done using facilities at our lab and the University of Utah Nanofab. Physical properties of the devices are studied using low-temperature transport measurements, high-frequency and optical techniques. The second area of our research is energy-relevant materials and devices such as solar cells, light emitting diodes and transistors.
