Dynamics and correlations studied by neutron scattering (B04)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 277146847

The magnetic and nuclear structure and their excitations shall be studied by various neutron scattering techniques to explore topological superconductivity, Berry-phase effects on magnetic dynamics, current-driven metal-insulator transitions and complex ordering phenomena. We will focus on the two promising candidate topological superconductors Sr2RuO4 and doped Bi2Se3, on ferromagnetic metals experiencing strong spin-orbit coupling, on materials exhibiting strong magnetic anisotropy and on magnetoelectrics.
