Characterization of Detector and Electron Source for Inverse Photoemission Spectrometer
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-17)The inverse photo-emission spectroscopy (IPES) is a powerful tool to probe the unoccupied energy states of materials, such the surface states of metals or the unoccupied states of high temperature superconductors. IPES ... -
Detecting the Surface Spin Polarization State of Topological Materials by Using Resonant X-ray Reflectometry
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-21)The topological insulator as a promising and low cost next generation spintronic device attracts lots of attentions recently. The spin-momentum locking is a characteristic feature of topological materials at the surface ... -
Modeling the X-ray absorption of Neodymium ions in cuprate superconductors
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-18)Electronic nematicity, a breaking of the rotational symmetry of the electronic structure beyond what is expected from the ionic displacements of atoms, has been identified in the (La, M)₂CuO₄ family of the cuprate ... -
A Study of Electronic Nematicity in Cuprate Superconductors using Resonant Soft X-Ray Scattering
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-29)The cuprate high-temperature superconductors involve a complex interplay between different structural and electronic symmetry-breaking phases. In the last decade, rotational and translational symmetry-breaking phases — ... -
Symmetry of the Charge Ordering Phases in Hole-Doped Cuprates Studied by Resonant X-Ray Absorption and Scattering
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)In the underdoped cuprates, superconductivity coexists with a rich variety of other electronic orders. Understanding the nature of these orders, how they interact with one another, and the mechanisms that produce them is ...
