The Condensed Matter Physics group uses the radiation of free electron laser FELIX to study both static and dynamic properties of matter.
Research groups
We have a strong in-house research programme subdivided into six accomplished research groups with a focus on the creative use of high magnetic fields, intense infrared and THz free-electron lasers, and the combination thereof.
Correlated Electron Systems
The Correlated Electron Systems group focuses on a variety of topics like unconventional superconductivity, low-dimensional metals, quantum critical phenomena and quantum magnetism.
FELIX Infrared and THz Spectroscopy
The FELIX Infrared and THz Spectroscopy group develops and uses mass spectrometric techniques in combination with advanced infrared and terahertz spectroscopy.
Molecular Structure and Dynamics
The Molecular Structure and Dynamics group combines and integrates mass spectrometry with IR spectroscopy, enabling them to obtain infrared spectral fingerprints for mass-selected ions inside the mass spectrometer.
Semiconductors & Nanostructures
The Semiconductors & Nanostructures group mostly studies quantum phenomena and transport in low-dimensional systems like graphene, oxide heterostructures and topological insulators.
Soft Condensed Matter & Nanomaterials
The Soft Condensed Matter & Nanomaterials group primarily conducts research on magnetic levitation, the alignment of molecular systems and in situ monitoring of crystal growth.
