Jyoti Katoch investigates the electronic, optical and spin dependent properties of novel quantum systems such as two-dimensional layered materials and three-dimensional Dirac semimetals. She has expertise in controlling the properties of quantum materials using atomic scale modifications (adatoms, heterostructures, proximity effects, etc.) with an intent to tweak their properties on demand, as well as explore novel physical phenomena emerging from such modifications. Her research focuses on using two different experimental approaches for the fabrication of novel quantum systems: polymer-based mechanical assembly techniques to obtain atomically precise heterostructures of van der Waals materials and molecular beam epitaxy growth method for larger area thin films of quantum materials. Her group utilizes the state-of-the-art in-operando angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub 100 nm spatial resolution (nanoARPES) to obtain momentum resolved view of the electronic structure of fully functional devices based on quantum materials.

Carnegie Mellon's Jyoti Katoch Receives DOE Early Career Grant to Probe Quantum Matter  — Carnegie Mellon University
"I am very excited about receiving a DOE early career research award," said Katoch, "It will enable my research group to perform cutting edge work on 2D quantum materials at the state-of-the-art MAESTRO beamline at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This award gives LIQUID group members an opportunity to venture into a new direction of performing in-operando angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub-100 nm spatial resolution on fully functional quantum devices at this beamline."
