Designing and Building a Point-Contact Spectroscopy Setup

Serena Eley | serenaeley@mines.edu

Point-contact spectroscopy of normal-metal–superconductor junctions is a technique used to measure the energy gap and associated density of states. The student will design a point-contact spectroscopy measurement setup that could be inserted into a pre-existing cryogenic system such that our lab we can measure the local DOS in superconductors at low temperatures.
