Two PhD Positions Experimental Nanomagnetism

We are seeking motivated PhD candidates to join our newly forming JuniorStart Fellow group at the Chair of Experimental Physics of Functional Spin Systems at the Technical University of Munich. Our group studies the static and dynamic properties of magnetic systems at the nanoscale, from magnetic skyrmions and higher-order spin textures to curved and three-dimensional magnetic nanostructures. You will fabricate your own samples in the clean room (thin-film deposition, electron-beam and photolithography, and SEM/FIB-based 3D nanostructuring) and probe their static and dynamic response with a broad toolkit: magneto-transport, ferromagnetic resonance and propagating spin-wave spectroscopy, and synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) for direct, time-resolved imaging of the magnetization. Experiments are tightly coupled to micromagnetic simulations, which form a central part of the daily work, guiding sample design and underpinning the interpretation of every measurement.
