In this video, LAURENS MOLENKAMP outlines how his team’s focus on mercury telluride has provided notable insights into this phenomenon. * Conducting transport experiments on special semiconductors grown using a molecular beam epitaxy machine, Molenkamp’s findings include the identification of the quantum Hall effect in a three-dimensional topological insulator and the potential for topological superconductivity. * With future applications in fields including quantum metrology and topological quantum computing, Molenkamp’s research continues to extend our understanding of the physical makeup of our universe.
