Introduction



 

Vision & Mission

The Superconductivity group is actively involved in fundamental and applied research. Our mission is oriented toward the study of mesoscopic phenomena occurring at low temperature including:

  • Our main effort is on preparation and characterization of novel superconducting and magnetic materials; single crystals as well as polycrystalline. Van der Waals magnetic materials and Cr-based magnetocaloric materials are routinely studied in our group.
  • Hot spot induced in thin superconducting films, where the experimental data were analyzed using the time dependent Ginzbug Landau Theory. A focus on the detection of a tiny amount of light using thin film superconductor.
  • Our primary research is on unconventional superconductors such as the high-Tc cuprates and the Iron-based superconductors.  Our focus is to study their microscopic properties using Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy, especially the paring mechanism and pseudogap phenomena.
