We are advancing the synthesis and atomic-scale characterization of quantum materials. By combining molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth with in-situ low-temperature, high-magnetic-field scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we aim to uncover how strain, proximity effects, strong correlations, and spin–orbit interactions drive emergent quantum phenomena in topological insulators, Fe-based superconductors, and quantum magnets such as Kagome and altermagnets.
