Nouveaux états électroniques de la matière corrélée
Type of internship
Expérimental Description
Quantum spin liquids are an exciting family of quantum materials with topological properties that offer novel solutions to quantum computing. In such materials, emergent particles and exotic phenomena arise from the interactions between huge numbers of electrons. This project will address how to detect novel particles in these new states of matter using a challenging experimental technique known as the "thermal Hall effect" measured in extreme conditions of magnetic field and temperatures. This effect represents the deflection of heat in a magnetic field and is thought to be a direct manifestation of these novel states of quantum matter. The project will also focus on developing a unique new approach for performing thermal experiments using nanofabrication processes that will be carried out in a clean room facility. This major milestone will open the door to many future perspectives in the field of quantum materials.
