Goldhaber-Gordon Lab

Gordon Prill services: Architectural Design, Engineering & Construction

Dr. David Goldhaber-Gordon is an Associate Professor of Physics for whom we built a research lab within the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials.

Research focuses on electrons in reduced dimensions: 2-dimensional electron gases, quantum wires and point contacts, and quantum dots, especially the role of interactions, quantum coherence, many-body states, and spin in these systems.

Many materials are used, including conventional semiconductor heterostructures, nanowires, carbon (nanotubes and graphene sheets), and organic molecules. Major tools include nanolithography, precision low-temperature electrical transport, and several novel scanning probe techniques.
