Vanadium Dioxide Nanowire Devices
Dong Yu Group
University of California, Davis
H. Clark Travaglini
The recent development of nanowire devices as simple systems has reignited research in many difficult materials, including Vanadium Dioxide. In this talk, we will discuss the justification and fabrication of these novel devices, as well as new measurement techniques that have pushed us into new regimes within condensed matter physics at large.
Quantum Hall Effect in Hybrid Graphene
Bard Nano Lab
Bard College
Max Meynig & Maya Weingrod Sandor
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon allotrope where the classical Hall effect exhibits a quantization of available electronic states in the material, leading to ballistic, zero resistance, conduction. This phenomenon is known as the quantum Hall effect (QHE) and requires strong magnetic fields and very low temperatures for its observation. We constructed samples of graphene on boron nitrite and observed their Quantum Hall effect at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
