Fiber optical interferometer for ultra-sensitive displacement detection in cryogenic and high magnetic field environment. — •Martin Borowski, Tjark Windisch, Marc A. Wilde, and Dirk Grundler — Physik Department E10, Technische Universität München, James-Franck-Str. 1, 85748 Garching, Germany
A fiber optical interferometer with sub-Å resolution and in-situ four-axis nanopositioning sample holder for cryogenic (300 mK) and high magnetic field (15 T) applications is presented.
By probing the magnetization M=−∂ U/∂ B | N,T at low temperatures information can be gained about the ground state energy of a low dimensional electron system. For this we use micromechanical GaAs-based cantilever magnetometers (MCMs) with integrated or flip-chip mounted electron systems. This technique is established for large-area two-dimensional electron systems. The study of micron-sized samples e.g. graphene flakes, however calls for miniaturized cantilevers and a setup, where the sensitivity can be optimized in situ. The challenge is to achieve a sufficiently small footprint to fit the setup into a commercially available 3He cryostat. The realization and characterization of the magnetometer will be reported.
