Understanding Nanoscale Magnetic and Electrical Properties of Quantum Materials using scanning probe techniques

 

Next generation logic and memory technologies demands exotic material with tunable properties to have multi-functionality, room-temperate operation and energy efficiency. Topologically protected nano-scale spin textures, namely skyrmions found to be promising candidate for development of high-density data storage devices, spin-logic devices and on the other hand 2D materials have shown their potential for their application in high performance technologies in electronic and quantum devices. I will present nanoscale magnetic properties of transition metal and rare-earth based ferrimagnetic thin film and their potential for room temperature skyrmion based application. For the opto-electronic properties, I will discuss the role of defect engineering in 2D-transtion metal dichalcogenides for tunable optical and electrical properties. I will highlight the use of variety of scanning probe techniques in exploring structural, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of important classes of materials.
