X-Ray Spectroscopy
Magnetic X-Ray Spectroscopy We are intensively using the so called XMCD effect for an analysis of complex magnetic systems. This technique provides an element specific way to determine quantitatively spin and orbital magnetic moments of every atomic species, even in complex magnetic systems. Since the magnetic cro...

Nano Magnonics
The working group “Nano Magnonics” investigates dynamic processes in ferromagnetic thin-film systems. Structures with layer thicknesses in the range of 5 to 50 nanometers are studied. Lateral dimensions range from 50 nanometers up to few micrometers, covering the length scales of patterned magnetic storage elements. Soft... Read More
FM / HTc Superconductor Systems
Ferromagnet / High Temperature Superconductor Systems For the understanding of the current transport in polycrystalline high-Tc superconductors as technological relevant materials, the determination and understanding of magnetic flux and current density distributions is of vital importance. We visualize the local ... Read More
Micro / Nano Optics
Micro / Nano Optics The Micro/Nano Optics Working Group develops novel micro/nano-structures, with a focus on X-ray optics. Exploration of new fabrication strategies, thin film materials development and performance testing of the fabricated optics are all parts of the process flow. We are especially interested in ...
