Experimental Physics of Functional Spin Systems
Prof. Christian Back
Research Field
The research of our group is focused on the detailed understanding of magnetization dynamics in hybrid materials comprising of ultrathin magnetic layers in combination with topological materials or with materials inducing strong interfacial spin-orbit interaction. We tailor novel hybrid magnetic structures and investigate their static and dynamic magnetic properties. Among the subjects covered in our research are the dynamics in confined magnetic systems, magnonics, spin orbitronics, hybrid topological materials, high resolution magnetic microscopy as well as magnetic phase transitions in low dimensional systems.
In our group we use several techniques to examine magnetization dynamics, the propagation of spinwaves and the efficiency of charge to spin current conversion. At the heart of our research projects are various time and spatially resolved high resolution magnetic microscopy techniques in combination with microwave excitation and detection.

Offers for Theses in the Group
- Spinpumping in heterostructures consisting of magnetic Weyl Semi-metals and heavy metals
Magnetic Weyl semi-metals combine magnetic order and a topological electronic band structure. It is expected that mutual spin-to-charge conversion is particularly efficient in these materials. We will study mutual spin-to-charge conversion using methods of ferromagnetic resonance.
