Lab Tours

• Dr. Wolter-Giraud (IFW): thermodynamics and magnetic properties
• Dr. Lubk (IFW): electron imaging and holography facilities
• Prof. Felser (MPI-CPfS): bulk growth and characterization methods
  This lab tour will provide an introduction to our single-crystal and thin-film growth facilities, as well as the fabrication of devices based on
  exfoliated 2D materials and the corresponding measurement techniques. In addition, you will learn about the scientific questions we investigate using samples fabricated through various approaches and gain firsthand insight into how topological quantum chemistry and physics are explored in a laboratory environment.
• Dr. Donnelly (MPI-CPfS): precision magnetic sensing (Spin3D)
  Our group, Spin3D, experimentally explores topological configurations in three dimensional magnetic systems. To visualise these configurations, we develop high resolution synchrotron X-ray tomography to visualise three dimensional magnetic vector field, and complement these with lab-based scanning probe magnetic microscopy. To control the magnetic configurations that form, we exploit advanced nanofabrication techniques - both additive and subtractive - to realise three dimensional magnetic nanostructures. In this tour, we will present our lab-based nanofabrication and scanning probe techniques - and give an overview of our tomographic imaging with synchrotron X-ray sources.
• Dr. Vool (MPI-CPfS): quantum device design like Josephson junctions
• Prof. Singha (TUD): a newly set-up NV magnetometer
  The research activities at NQM focusses on nanoscale magnetism, coherent quantum control, and nanoscale transport phenomena using advanced scanning NV magnetometry. NV-probes are known for their exceptional magnetic field sensitivity. Some of our focus goes into realizing better sensors with improved spatial resolution. In parallel, we use these probes under extreme conditions of UHV and low temperature for exploring and controlling quantum phenomena with nanoscale spatial resolution.
• Prof. Geck (TUD): X-ray facilities for advanced characterization
  You will see modern, well-equipped X-ray laboratories where we perform single-crystal as well as powder diffraction experiments. Our facility allows us to study the structure of a wide range of quantum materials at temperatures down to 8 K and under pressures of up to 35 GPa (and possibly even higher). We can also apply uniaxial strain to single crystals and perform in operando powder XRD measurements on batteries.
