Researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Hamburg have created a magnetic network on the nanometer scale in an antiferromagnetic manganese layer. The transitions between different magnetically ordered areas (domains) of the network were imaged on the atomic scale using scanning tunneling microscopy...

Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that it is crucial to measure them with minimal interference. Researchers at the University of Hamburg and the University of Illinois Chicago have now demonstrated, both experimentally and theoretically...

The German Physical Society (DPG) has honored Prof. Dr. Andrea Cavalleri with the Stern-Gerlach Medal for outstanding achievements in experimental physics. Cavalleri is founding director of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) and principal investigator at the Cluster of Excellence “CUI...
