Static and dynamic coupling of lattice and magnetic properties in low-symmetry two-dimensional materials (B06)

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

The project will explore the physics of complex magnetism and its coupling to lattice degrees of freedom in layered low-symmetry two-dimensional materials. By combining the density functional theory approach with real-space scanning tunneling microscopy (spin-polarized and inelastic), the project will address the emergence of complex magnetic states, magnonic excitations, phononic properties and physics of magnon-phonon coupling and formation of chiral hybrid excitations mediated by orbital magnetism at surfaces of Kagome metals, honeycomb materials and altermagnets.
