Nanomagnetism deals with the investigation of magnetism in materials reduced to nanometre length scale along one, two or three dimensions. Reduced dimensions and the presence of surfaces and interfaces lead to new or enhanced magnetic properties and functionalities. More
Superconductivity and correlated electrons
The discovery of iron pnictide superconductors with high transition temperature has attracted extensive interest on their physical properties and thereby the physical mechanism of high-temperature superconductors. More
Multifunctional materials
Magnetic and electric degrees of freedom are both employed in information technology and other applications. Their combination and coupling in a “multiferroic” offers potential for improvements, for example in form of magnetic memories writable by magnetoelectric coupling. More
Neutron Scattering
Development of methods and operation of instruments for neutron scattering. More
Institute of Crystallography
The staff at the Institute of Crystallography does research on crystal structures using neutron and x-ray radiation under the guidance of Dr. Lars Peters (Deputy Chair). The goals include a further development of diffraction and scattering methods as well as an application of these methods to elucidate structure-property relationships in modern materials. More
ESS Instrumentation
The ESS is a next-generation European neutron research facility in Lund, Sweden; our department “ESS Instrumentation” designs concepts for neutron scattering instruments there.
The high brilliance accelerator-based neutron source HBS represents a unique infrastructure for neutron analysis (imaging methods and scattering) to be used in a multitude of scientifc disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology, materials and engineering sciences.
