Spintronics Home Page – Heiman Lab
Heiman’s research focuses on several challenging and technologically important areas.
- topological insulators and semimetals
- antiferromagnetic and altermagnetic materials
- novel magnetic materials for spintronic devices
- magnetic 2D layers
The group’s primary experimental tools include:
- molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)
- physical vapor deposition crystal growth (magnetron sputtering)
- ultrasensitive SQUID magnetometry
- electrical transport in high magnetic fields
Research is in collaboration with several dozen institutions including MIT, the US Naval Academy, and LPS-Maryland.
