Offered Bachelor’s or Master’s Theses Topics
- Magnon transport in laterally confined magnetic insulators
- In antiferromagnetic insulators, we obtain two magnon modes with opposite spin chirality due to the two opposing magnetic sublattices. In this way, magnon transport in antiferromagnetic insulators can be considered as the magnonic equivalent of electronic spin transport in semiconductors and the properties can be mapped onto a magnonic pseudospin. At present, most experiments rely on extended epitaxial thin films of antiferromagnetic insulators. Your thesis will be dedicated to confine the lateral dimensions of the magnon transport channel. By conducting all-electrical magnon transport experiments, you will then determine the role of lateral confinement in such measurement schemes. You are interested in providing novel insights into pseudospin properties in antiferromagnetic insulators and provide a spark for theoretical descriptions. In order to answer questions regarding magnon transport in magnetic insulators, your thesis will contain aspects of the fabrication of nano-scale devices using electron beam lithography as well as ultra-sensitive low-noise electronic measurements at high magnetic fields in a cryogenic environment.

- Thin film material design for future magnonics
- Spin waves (magnons) are the quantized excitations of the magnetic lattice in solid state systems. The field of magnonics is exploring concepts to use these magnons for information transport and processing. Of special interest is to obtain reliable control over the relevant properties of these magnons such as, for example, their lifetime. The goal of your thesis is to fabricate high quality magnetically ordered thin film structures and investigate their spin wave properties via microwave spectroscopy methods. You will gain experience in nanofabrication by working with state-of-the-art thin film deposition machines. Moreover, you will utilize thin film x-ray diffraction and magnetometry experiments to characterize the materials. You will utilize microwave spectroscopy techniques to extract the spin wave properties.
