Photon scattering from spin-orbit materials (B02)

Subject Area Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term since 2023
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 492547816
 

Project Description

In the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling, correlated-electron materials display a rich set of emergent phenomena, such as proximate spin liquid phases. We will use Raman scattering and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to elucidate the microscopic origin of these phenomena in several 4d and 5d electron materials with frustrated exchange interactions. Furthermore, we will explore soft-chemistry topotactic modifications of the structural and electronic properties of these materials.
