Short Curriculum Vitae

Research profile: experimental solid state physics

Crystal growth and low temperature physics in strongly correlated electron systems: magnetism, frustration, critical behavior, quantum phase transitions.

Design and discovery of new states of matter, especially quantum materials by crystal growth and characterization:

• Exploration of magnetic ground states, whose complexity is arising due to competing interactions, e.g. in magnetically frustrated systems
• Investigation of phase transitions and critical properties, particularly with regard to universality

Selected Topics

• Frustration and quantum criticality: CePd_1−xNi_xAl
• Frustration in metals: HoInCu₄, HoInAg_2-xAu_x
• Quantum critical heavy fermion systems: CeCu_6−xAu_x, CeCoIn₅
• Spin and orbital frustration: (Fe,Mn)Sc₂S₄
• Unconventional Superconductivity in Iron-pnictides: EuRbFe4As4
