Elastic tuning of competing orders in quantum materials (B03)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 422213477

The project will investigate the interplay between charge ordering and other competing electronic phases in selected families of quantum materials by probing their response to elastic tuning. To this end, the project includes the synthesis of single crystals, their structural characterization and the study of their collective excitations by means of inelastic-photon-scattering techniques under uniaxially- and hydrostatically-pressurized conditions.
