Research
Professor Heiman’s research group focuses on several challenging and technologically important areas:
– Topological insulators and semimetals
– Heusler magnetic semiconductors
– Spintronic materials and devices
– Magnetocalorics
– Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) crystal growth
The group’s experimental tools include MBE apparatus, magnetotransport and magneto-optics up to 14 tesla, SEM, SQUID magnetometer, etc.
