We are exploring molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of quantum materials, including topological insulators, Weyl semimetals, Fe-based superconductors, and quantum magnets (i.e., kagome- and alter-magnets), and characterization using in situ low-temperature and high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to gain new insights into these quantum phases of matter from the interplay of strain, proximity, correlations, and spin-orbit interactions.
