Neutron and X-Ray Scattering of Oxide Heterostructures (G01 (C01))

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2010 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 107745057

The project uses resonant x-ray scattering and neutron reflectometry to investigate interfacial reconstructions and ordering phenomena in nanoscale metal-oxide multilayers that are synthesized with oxide molecular-beam epitaxy. Of particular interest are complex magnetism and charge order in nickelate films and superlattices and in nickelate-cuprate hybrid materials, as well as the interplay between magnetism, charge order, and superconductivity in cuprate-manganate heterostructures.
