SUMMARY:Scotch Tape and Spectroscopy: an excellent combination for Topologi
	cal Insulators
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Ken Burch\, University of Toronto\nHosted by: Richard
	 Averitt\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.\n\nAbst
	ract: Recently there has been a great deal of interest in studying the\nsur
	faces of materials with topologically non-trivial electronic\nstates. In ad
	dition to probing the surfaces of topological insulators\nit is highly desi
	rable to put them in proximity with other materials\n(ferromagnets and supe
	rconductors) to induce new particles such as\nMajoranna Fermions. I will di
	scuss our groups efforts to study these\nmaterials using mechanical exfolia
	tion and a variety of spectroscopic\ntechniques (Raman\, IR and tunneling).
	 In addition I will detail a new\nmethod we have devised that enables us to
	 produce high temperature\nsuperconductivity in a topological insulator via
	 the proximity effect.
