Title: Quantum anomalous Hall effect materials and devices for metrology (QuAHMET): An European Partnership on Metrology project
Abstract: The Quantum Hall effect (QHE) is the foundation for the realisation of the primary resistance standard (PRS), representing the “gold standard” in electrical metrology. QHE devices currently require low temperatures and high magnetic fields, impeding their adoption beyond national metrology institutes. The Quantum Anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) provides an opportunity to overcome these limitations while maintaining the unsurpassed accuracy expected of PRS. Greater knowledge of QAHE devices is essential to accelerate the development of a ‘quantum electrical metrology toolbox’ for the universal adoption of quantum electrical SI standards. QuAHMET project will grow, characterise, and evaluate thin films for QAHE and devices fabricated from them, leading to a detailed metrological assessment from sub-K to above 1 K, currents from below 100 nA to above 1 µA and over a wide range of external magnetic fields up to several Tesla.

Quantum anomalous Hall effect materials and devices for metrology (QuAHMET) is a Joint research Project of the European Partnership on Metrology. The project will focus on the traceable measurement and characterisation of quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) materials as devices and primary resistance standard candidates.

The QuAHMET project consortium consists of 14 partners and gathers 7 leading European national metrology institutes (NMIs), a Japanese NMI for metrology, complemented by 6 globally recognized institutes from academia and applied research.
