Physicists at the University of Augsburg together with collaborators from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and Rutgers University, USA, have successfully switched an antiferromagnetic state in an insulator by voltage pulses, within just a few tens of billionths of a second. Their findings were recently published in Physical Review Letters. 

At the Chair of Resource and Chemical Engineering (Prof. Vollprecht) and the Chair of Technology Assessment (Prof. Jan Paul Lindner), a joint doctoral researcher (m/f/d) is being sought for the research project RueBe (“Dismantling of Construction and Excavation Waste Landfills for the Production of High-Quality Building Materials”).
