| B01 | Synthesis, crystal growth, and phase diagrams of frustrated magnets |
|
This project investigates material properties of oxidic and halogenated frustrated magnets of 3d, 4d and 5d transition metals, with three objectives: (i) the synthesis of new materials with specific magnetic interactions that generate frustration, (ii) the investigation and optimization of single crystal growth of frustrated magnets, (iii) the study of electronic and magnetic phase diagrams, e.g. as a function of chemical doping or substitution. The focus is on double perovskites with anisotropic and competing magnetic interactions as well as layered cluster compounds, metal halides and metal oxide halides with frustrated lattices. |

PhD position TUD: Chemical/materials science education with a focus on solid state synthesis, X-ray diffraction and crystallography. Metal halides and metal oxide halides of transition metals are synthesized and characterized. The PhD project will be carried out at the Faculties of Physics and Chemistry of the Technical University Dresden in the newly founded group of Jun. Prof. Dr. Anna Isaeva in close cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW Dresden). Further information can be found here. |

| PhD position IFW: Basic chemical/materials science education and experience in the field of solid state chemistry. Classes of materials that will be studied comprise double perovskites with anisotropic and/or competing magnetic interactions, and layered cluster compounds such as Fe4Si2Sn7O16 with kagome structural motifs. For further information please contact Dr. Sabine Wurmehl. | |
| C01 | Thermodynamics and spin-lattice interaction in high magnetic fields |
| The PhD student will perform measurements of the magnetostriction and thermal expansion as well as the magnetization of new magnetically frustrated materials in static and pulsed fields at very low temperatures (T = 10 mK – 1 K). Therefore, the knowledge of cryogenic techniques is desirable. In addition to the experiments, simulation calculations with simple models of magnetic interactions ("mean-field") have to be realized. The work is carried out alternately at the TU Dresden and in the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. For further information please contact Prof. Joachim Wosnitza and PD Dr. Mathias Dörr. |
