报告内容:

Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a powerful tool in studying atomic-scale nanomagnets and quantum materials by imaging, atom manipulation and performing local spectroscopy. In the first of my talk, I will talk about exploring single-atom or few-atom quantum magnets with low-temperature and high magnetic field STM. By combining all electronic pump-probe technique with low-temperature STM, we measure the spin dynamics of artificially constructed quantum magnets down to nanosecond time resolution. We also find that their spin dynamics can be fully controlled by tuning the atomic exchange coupling with the magnetic STM tip. In addition, we demonstrate that the atomic quantum magnets can be used as spin sensors to remotely sense the magnetic states of nearby nano-antiferromagnets. In the second part of my talk, I will talk about using low-temperature STM to study the charge density wave (CDW) and superconducting materials (1T-TMDs, 1T-TiSe2 and 1T-Cu0.08TiSe2).
