Stress-strain measurements and development of a thermodynamic elastoscope (A10)

Subject Area Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term since 2020
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 422213477
 

Project Description

The project will use high-precision bulk thermodynamic probes and symmetry-sensitive optics combined with uniaxial pressure to characterize and control ordered states in systems with strong coupling between electronic, magnetic, and lattice degrees of freedom. We aim to develop and make a first demonstration of ‘elastoscope’ combining spatially resolved optics, thermodynamic measurements, and in-situ uniaxial pressure.
