Investigating the properties of a candidate topological material
Topology in mathematics is connected to properties of geometric objects that are preserved under continuous deformations. Our system has such properties on the quantum mechanical level. You will grow the crystals and measure its properties in order to provide signatures of topological properties..

You will work with the world’s smallest and most precise robot arm. Currently the robot can grap samples by vacuum pickup system, but you will test our brand new micro grippers. The samples you will create are essential for the research in our group.
Chiral magnetic structures
Skyrmions are topological swirls of magnetic spins that behave like particles. They are nanometer-sized quasiparticles currently regarded as next-generation information carriers with potential applications in high-density, low-power, robust data storage and transfer devices. You will work on the crystal growth as well as investigate magnetic properties as a function of temperature, magnetic field and pressure.
