Our research focuses on solid state physics on scales from the atomic to the mesoscale and on timescales down to femtoseconds. We explore excitations from magnons to phonons to charge carrier dynamics probed on critical time- and length scales. In particular, we focus on static and dynamic properties of geometrically confined structures with tailored magnetization configurations, magnetotransport effects and spin torques as well as on materials discovery that enables new effects.

In our lab, we grow magnetic material systems, pattern nanoelectronic devices, characterize magnetic properties, perform measurements within magnetic imaging as well as transport, and develop tools to analyze results efficiently. Here is an overview over our wide range of equipment and tools:
