Magnetic Oxides and Intermetallics

Head: Prof. Dr. Bernd Büchner

Our department is devoted to the systematic search for novel materials and the detailed investigation of their physical and chemical properties by means of state-of-the-art experimental techniques. It therefore comprises several people which aim the synthesis of poly- and single-crystalline materials and their characterisation. In addition, we apply advanced techniques at low temperatures in order study the magnetic, structural and transport properties of transition metal compounds. Particular focus is given to quantum magnets with reduced dimensionality, multiferroism, molecular magnetism and the interplay of spin, charge, structure and orbitals in complex systems. In particular, our work focusses on the following topics:

Materials under study:

Transition Metal Oxides (Manganites, Nickelates, Cuprates, Vanadates,...), Electrochemically doped Oxides, Carbon Nanotubes, Multiferroics, Oxide Nanotubes (VOx, MoOx,...), ...
