Anomale Elastizität: von Phasenübergängen bis zu flexibler Elektronik
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
This research program addresses foundational questions in condensed matter physics, guided by the interplay between symmetry, topology, and elasticity. Each project contributes a facet to a coherent narrative: from emergent symmetries in 2D materials, through dynamic hybrid modes and transport anomalies in altermagnets, to the universal fingerprints of quantum criticality. The theoretical methods span field theory, scaling analysis, symmetry classification, and topological response theory, while the results offer concrete predictions for current and near-future experiments. By unifying these threads, we aim to not only characterize exotic quantum phases but to provide robust tools for diagnosing hidden order and engineering materials with tailored elastic and transport properties.
