The Solid State Nano Physics Group exploits the virtues of Van der Waals stacking and encapsulation of 2D materials  to explore and generate strongly  correlated ground states of two-dimensional electrons. These phases result from Coulomb interactions as well as interfacial interactions due to for instance flat bands in Moiré superlattice potentials induced by layer twisting, spin orbit coupling and magnetic exchange through the proximity effect. Exceptional carrier density tunabilities are achieved in dual gated van der Waals heterostructures as well as through on-chip reversible intercalation of ions to transfer charge to the 2D materials. Characterization proceeds primarily with ultralow temperature transport and optical probes such photoluminescence and confocal Raman spectroscopy. These studies focus among others on unconventional superconductivity, charge density wave physics, fractional quantum Hall and anomalous quantum physics as well as magnetic, spin and topology related phenomena.
