Quantum Materials

Our group works at the interface of condensed matter physics, solid-state chemistry, and materials science, to design and investigate inorganic materials with unconventional electronic, magnetic, and topological properties.

By combining exploratory synthesis, crystal growth, structural characterization, and physical-property measurements, the group studies how atomic-scale structure, chemical composition, dimensionality, and defects give rise to emergent quantum behavior.

The group develops material platforms for energy-efficient electronics, spintronics, magneto-optical systems, quantum devices, and sustainable energy technologies. Its research spans topological quantum materials, magnetic and correlated systems, layered van der Waals compounds, intercalated and exfoliated materials, and high-quality single crystals.

As part of the Research Center Future Energy Materials and Systems (RC FEMS) and the wider University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) research ecosystem, the group collaborates closely with partners across TU Dortmund University, Ruhr University Bochum, and the University of Duisburg-Essen. These collaborations connect materials synthesis with advanced spectroscopy, microscopy, transport, theory, device concepts, and energy-materials research, enabling a broad approach from fundamental discovery to future applications.
