Dr. Muhammad Javaid Iqbal
Associate Professor
I am an experimentalist with expertise on electrical transport measurements on nanoscale devices at cryogenic temperatures. During my Ph.D. work I developed expertise in nanofabrication techniques (all the devices were designed and fabricated by myself) that were based on electron-beam lithography, wet-etching of semiconductors, metal deposition by electron-beam evaporation, optical and electron microscopy and other clean-room techniques. All measurements were performed at low temperatures in a dilution refrigerator with home-built electronic measurement equipment for detecting very low current and voltage signals. I developed LabView programs for making measurements automated, fast and efficient.
