Multiscale Modelling and Measurements of Physical Properties - Roman Gröger

Research areas

• Experimental investigations into relationships between structure and magnetic, transport and mechanical properties in metallic materials
• Theoretical studies of electronic and magnetic properties of disordered alloys, epitaxial multilayers, surfaces and interfaces as well as quantum-mechanical studies of extended defects in metallic materials

Main objectives

Investigation of the functional properties of nanostructures

Specification and optimization of the functional properties of nanostructures for nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and (bio)sensing, their correlation with geometrical/structural parameters of nanostructures and operational parameters. Novel and unique properties of nanostructures not observable in conventional materials and microstructures open ways to qualitatively new applications.

Content of research

Investigation of the functional properties of nanostructures

The main goal is to find a correlation between the properties and the geometrical and structural parameters of nanostructures and to use this knowledge for feedback in the technology of their preparation and for various applications.

Magnetic properties and electrical/thermal transport properties of nanostructures, ordered nanostructures, ultrathin layered structures, and high-temperature super-conductors will be determined experimentally in the temperature range of 2 – 300 K on a Physical Property Measuring System (PPMS), which enables measurements in applied magnetic fields up to 9 T. A vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) will be used to investigate magnetic properties at high temperatures (293 –1093 K). Structural and magnetic properties of Fe-based nanostructures will be studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy at low (5 – 293 K) and high (293 –1093 K) temperatures.
