Research

My research involves growing thin films in candidate dirac-semimetals using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). These novel materials make use of topological properties which display unique electronic behaviours with potential to be used in exotic devices.

The main material I am investigating is Strontium Manganese Antimonide (SrMnSb₂) with the plan being to optimise growth parameters for thin films before investigating electronic and magnetic properties as well as band structure via Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES).

Skills & Experience

I also have experience using and servicing vacuum systems with my main system of operation being MADGE. This includes replacing and repairing parts such as cells and filaments; operating a variety of in vacuum components such as XPS and ion guns and leak checking and general system maintainence.

Collaboration with Cergy

My project is funded by EUTOPIA and a year of my studies will be undertaken in CY Cergy Universite in Paris under supervision of Professor Christine Richter. I will perform ARPES measurements whilst working in collaboration with ATTOLab.
