This new quantum ruler will help set electrical standards

“Using the new quantum ruler to study how the circular orbits vary with magnetic field, we hope to reveal the subtle magnetic properties of these moiré quantum materials”

A team of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology led by Joseph A. Stroscio has developed a “quantum ruler” that will be key in understanding graphene’s secrets.Collaborating with Fereshte Ghahari of George Mason University, the team created a moiré quantum matter device by twisting two layers of graphene of about 20 micrometers across.

Inset at left provides a top-level view of a portion of the two bilayers, showing the moiré pattern that forms when one bilayer is twisted at a small angle relative to the other.The NIST team discovered a new quantum ruler in action when they varied the applied magnetic field to the moiré graphene layers.
