Quanten-Materialien für Energie-relevante Technologien

In the history of mankind the discovery of materials with hitherto unknown properties has been been recognized by the names attributed to entire epochs. In turn, the preparation of large, high-quality single crystals of novel materials represents a prerequisite for technological progress on some of the most pressing grand challenges. In particular, materials with macroscopic properties arising from the quantum entanglement of the underlying spin and charge degrees of freedom bear great potential in the context of energy-relevant technologies.

The proposed project concerns single crystal growth of selected quantum materials of interest for energy-relevant technologies, and the associated detailed characterisation of the structural and physical properties. For the growth of high purity samples we have developed a world-wide unique preparation chain satisfying ultra-pure conditions. It combines pre-growth casting and post-growth purification furnaces with state-of-the-art optical float-zoning. The experiments lay the foundations for a broad range of studies in collaboration with national and international partners.
