Interfaces: How They Make or Break a Nanodevice

As the size of electronic devices goes down to few nanometers, interfaces become increasingly relevant and often dominate and interfere with a device's performance. Hybrid devices are a particularly good example, because they rely on interfacing materials with different physical properties to control superconductivity, spin or other carrier characteristics in the active parts of the device. The performance of these structures depends critically on their reliable fabrication and interface characterization. In this webinar, Jelena Trbovic and Heidi Potts take you from general interface considerations to nanodevice characterization with lock-in amplifiers: you learn how to set up low-noise measurements and how to characterize devices on ultrafast timescales using RF reflectometry. The answers to the questions asked during the live event are summarized in this blog post.
