Ionic liquid gating has become a popular tool for tuning the charge carrier densities of complex oxides. Among these the band insulator SrTiO$_3$ is one of the most extensively studied materials. While experiments have succeeded in inducing…
Ionic liquid gating has a number of advantages over solid-state gating, especially for flexible or transparent devices and for applications requiring high carrier densities. However, the large number of charged ions near the channel…
Focused ion beams (FIBs) are widely used to modify optoelectronic devices, but their utility is severely restricted in some III-V materials due to adverse effects such as nanofibre growth and contamination. This study describes an effective…
One prominent structural feature of ionic liquids near surfaces is formation of alternating layers of anions and cations. However, how this layering responds to applied potential is poorly understood. We focus on the structure of…
Focussed Ion Beam (FIB) milling is a mainstay of nano-scale machining. By manipulating a tightly focussed beam of energetic ions, often gallium (Ga+), FIB can sculpt nanostructures via localised sputtering. This ability to cut solid matter…
A study of damages caused by gallium focused ion beam (FIB) into III-V compounds is presented. Potential damages caused by local heating, ion implantation, and selective sputtering are presented. Preliminary analysis shows that local…
In the effort to make 2D materials-based devices smaller, faster, and more efficient, it is important to control charge carrier at lengths approaching the nanometer scale. Traditional gating techniques based on capacitive coupling through a…
Paraelectrical tuning of a charge carrier density as high as 10$^{13}$\,cm$^{-2}$ in the presence of a high electronic carrier mobility on the delicate surfaces of correlated oxides, is a key to the technological breakthrough of a field…
The rise of nanotechnology has created an ever-increasing need to probe structures on the atomic scale, to which transmission electron microscopy has largely been the answer. Currently, the only way to efficiently thin arbitrary bulk…
We report that the ionic-liquid gating of bulk single crystals of a topological insulator can control the type of the surface carriers and even results in ambipolar transport. This was made possible by the use of a highly bulk-insulating…
The focused ion beam (FIB) is a powerful tool for the fabrication, modification and characterization of materials down to the nanoscale. Starting with the gallium FIB, which was originally intended for photomask repair in the semiconductor…
In Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se, the period of quantum oscillations arising from surface Dirac fermions can be increased 6-fold using ionic liquid gating. At large gate voltages, the Fermi energy reaches the $N$ = 1 Landau level in a 14-Tesla field. This…
Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a powerful technique for 3D-printing of complex nanodevices. However, for resolutions below 10 nm, it struggles to control size, morphology and composition of the structures, due to a lack…
Topological insulators (TIs) have attracted much attention due to their spin-polarized surface and edge states, whose origin in symmetry gives them intriguing quantum-mechanical properties. Robust control over the chemical potential of TI…
The focused ion beam (FIB) microscope is well established as a high-resolution machining instrument capable of site-selectively removing material down to the nanoscale. Beyond subtractive processing, however, the FIB can also add material…
Due to the coexistence of many emergent phenomena, including 2D superconductivity and a large Rashba spin-orbit coupling, 5d transition metal oxides based two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) have been prospected as one of the potential…
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides are pivotal for next-generation photonic devices due to their exceptional optical properties and strong light-matter interactions. However, their atomic thinness renders them susceptible…
Focused ion beam (FIB) techniques are employed widely for nanofabrication, and processing of materials and devices. However, ion irradiation often gives rise to severe damage due to atomic displacements that cause defect formation,…
Here we study the single-particle, electronic transport and optical properties of a gapped system described by a simple two-band Hamiltonian with inverted valence bands. We analyze its properties in the three-dimensional (3D) and the…
An atomic ion is trapped at the tip of a single-mode optical fiber in a cryogenic (8 K) surface-electrode ion trap. The fiber serves as an integrated source of laser light, which drives the quadrupole qubit transition of $^{88}$Sr$^+$.…
