Placement Information Year you started your placement 2019 Placement period May – August, September – December Supervisor’s name Alexander Komarek Project Details Overview Over 8 months I worked on the synthesis and characterization of transition metal compounds with potentially interesting physical and magnetic properties. Day to day work consisted of characterizing a synthesized compound with […]
Gaurav Tenkila from Physics and Astronomy program Stuttgart – Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research
Placement Information Year you started your placement 2019 Placement period May – August, September – December Supervisor’s name Sasha Boris Project Details Overview The study of high temperature superconductivity is highly motivated by the fact that we have yet to develop a successful theory for its occurrence. Cuprates have some of the highest transition temperatures […]
Paul Froese from Physics and Astronomy program Stuttgart – Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research
Placement Information Year you started your placement 2019 Placement period May – August, September – December Supervisor’s name Dirk Manske Project Details Overview In superconductors, spontaneous U(1) symmetry breaking occurs at the transition to the superconducting state, which is reflected by a Mexican hat shaped free energy potential. Collective modes, corresponding to oscillations of the […]
