Low-temperature Electron Transport through Nanostructures at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Interface

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

Electron pairing at temperatures above the superconducting critical temperature was recently demonstrated in SrTiO3 quantum dots patterned at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. The objective of this research is to investigate the mechanism of electron pairing in this system by modeling transport experiments in such nanostructures. The research is theoretical and will use transport calculations of model Hamiltonians, which are parameterized from a combination of first-principles density functional calculations and experimental measureme...

Stephen Hellberg, Phone: 202.767.3934Grantor Emailcarl.s.hellberg.civ@us.navy.milOther Grantor InformaitonThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
