Structural properties at low temperatures
We use various types of low-temperature scanning force microscopy - like non-contact scanning force microscopy, Kelvin-probe scanning force microscopy or magnetic force microscopy - in order to study magnetic, electronic und structural properties of solid state bodies.
The SKY-team is interested in
- advancement of scanning force microscopy methods
- at low temperatures, and
- with high time resolution.
- material investigation and surface characterisation of
- complex oxides,
- lacunar spinells,
- chiral magnets.
- locally resolved studies of physical phenomena, like
- non-collinearer spin textures,
- local magnetic excitations in chiral magnets,
- phase transitions at low temperatures.
