Our group’s efforts center around spectroscopic measurements of novel superconductors, topological materials and correlated electron systems, as well as some device physics and quantum computation projects. A major family of tools for us through the years has been angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), ultrafast laser-ARPES, and ultra-resolution laser-ARPES. Here we are focused on uncovering the basic electronic structure and electronic interactions/correlations that endow these materials with their unique physical properties. Other projects include the imaging and control of superconducting vortices using scanning magnetometry, electrical measurements of new types of nonvolatile quantum memory, and thin film growth of organic superconductors and of novel metal oxide materials.  We also are working to push the measurement frontier in multiple projects, whether it is with new vacuum or cryogenic technologies, ultralow vibration technologies, or improved electron detection schemes.  For more information, visit https://dessau.appspot.com
