Interfaces: how they make or break a nanodevice

16 Feb 2022 Sponsored by Zurich Instruments

Available to watch now, Zurich Instruments explores the role of interfaces in nanodevices

Want to learn more on this subject?

As the size of electronic devices goes down to a few nanometres, interfaces become increasingly relevant and often dominate and interfere with a device’s performance. Hybrid devices are a particularly good example, because they rely on interfacing materials with different physical properties to control superconductivity, spin or other carrier characteristics in the active parts of the device. The performance of these structures depends critically on their reliable fabrication and interface characterization.

In this webinar, Jelena Trbovic and Heidi Potts will take you from general interface considerations to nanodevice characterization with lock-in amplifiers: you will learn how to set up low-noise measurements and how to characterize devices on ultrafast timescales using RF reflectometry.
