Research background and current project:
- High temperature superconductivity – magnetoresistance and magnetometry measurements
- Permalloy characterization using kerr microscopy
- AFM growth and characterization
- Neel order in AFMs, and its effect due to electric field.
For my bachelor thesis, I worked on Superconducting order, and various means of enhancing the order, which led me into operating a crysostat. Thereafter, I spent some time in magnetic property and growth characterization, both in Mainz for my masters and in Tohoku university Japan, where I was for a short project. My magnEFi project involves a different type of material ordering, the AFM ordering or the Neel order. It involves the effect of electrical field on the Neel order, potentially finding a means to control the Neel order. For this, techniques ranging from imaging (both laboratory and synchrotron based) to transport measurements will be employed.
