Subject Area
Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term
since 2015
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 247310070
This project studies the thermodynamic properties and spin-lattice interactions of magnetically frustrated and topological materials in particular at low temperatures down to 20 mK and at high magnetic fields (up to 70 T and, in special cases, even beyond). For that, high-resolution specific-heat measurements (in static fields) as well as magnetization, magnetostriction, ultrasound, and electrical-transport experiments (in static and pulsed fields) will be utilized. This will allow us to study field-driven phase transitions, such as the condensation of magnetic excitations, as well as the spin-lattice interaction in magnetically frustrated materials, such as quantum spin liquids.
