Spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations in complex oxides (C08)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 258499086

The goal for this project is the exploration of the generic phase diagram spanned by electron correlations and spin-orbit coupling. We will focus on 5d iridate films, establish high-quality thin film growth and study the corresponding electronic quantum phases by (angle-resolved) photoemission at low, soft, and hard x-ray energies.
