Terahertz Sensor Based on Topological Materials

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Smart growth - PL - ERDF (2014PL16RFOP001), managing authority: Ministerstwo obsługujące ministra właściwego ds. rozwoju regionalnego. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Trójmiejski (NUTS PL633); Poland. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 777,825.03; EU co-financing EUR 777,825.03 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2017-09-01 to 2020-11-29. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): Recently, a new quantum state of matter called-topological insulator (TI) has been discovered. Tis are Insulating in the bulk but possess intrinsically metallic surface/edge states, similar to these of graphene, where electrons behave as mass-less Dirac fermions and carry electrical as well as spin currents with extremely high mobility. Such peculiar surface/edge states, are expected to play a key role in realising new high frequency devices. To reach such devices the project propose the research on innovative HgCdTe and GaSb/Inas structures Overcoming two existing up today problems: I) having TI states preserved up to elevated temperatures (up to 300K) (ii) allowing fast electrical switching (on/off) of TI states. The project aims to build by world-class leaders, the TEAM having strong international collaborations and performing basic/applied physics research on innovative TI structures in view of demonstration of innovative high frequency devices as well as terahertz radiation sensors
