The Manfra group congratulates Sara Metti on her recent publication!
Electronic g factor and tunable spin-orbit coupling in a gate-defined InSbAs quantum dot
S. Metti, C. Thomas, and M. J. Manfra
Physics Review B (2023) doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.108.235306 [PDF]
FIG. 1. b. (left) Model of the device design with dual layer gates insulated with 20 nm Al2O3 (not shown for clarity) below the fine gates and 40 nm Al2O3 below the global top gate. The first layer of fine gates defines the quantum dot, while the second layer serves as a global gate to control the carrier density.

Check out Purdue News article, Purdue physicists develop experimental techniques to expose various flavors of anyons, which focuses on the Manfra group's most recent Physical Review X publication (10.1103/PhysRevX.13.041012).
10.1103/PhysRevX.13.041012 FIG. 1. (a) False-color SEM image of an interferometer with the same dimensions as the device used in our experiment. Red lines indicate propagating edge states. The illustrated configuration corresponds to the case of ν
= 2/5, where there are two edge states. (b) Conductance oscillations at ν
= 1 versus magnetic field and side gate voltage VSG. The negatively sloped lines of constant phase indicate Aharonov-Bohm regime behavior, while weak modulations suggest small but finite bulk-edge coupling.
