Hierachical structuring of magnetocaloric materials with nanometer resolution (B09)

• Subject Area: Synthesis and Properties of Functional Materials ; Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2020 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 405553726

A nanoscale approach to additive manufacturing of magnetic nanosized powders and colloids will be developed. A sophisticated laser sintering system based on near field plasmonics will be used allowing the sintering of particles with 4 to 20 nm sizes. Feeding mechanisms of the particles by spraying, spin coating and dip-pen technology will be tested to construct a 3D printer with 20 nm feature size Resolution.
