This project investigates the electronic and magnetic real-space structure of frustrated materials down to the atomic length scale using scanning probe techniques. Scanning-tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) will be used for extracting local electronic densities of states and quasiparticle interference patterns. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and Kelvin-probe force microscopy (KPFM) will enable us to study magnetic textures and magnetoelectric effects. Novel quantitative methods at low temperature will be employed, in particular for MFM. Materials at focus are quantum spin liquid candidates, skyrmion systems, and Weyl semimetals.
