Former Program and Equipment
General field of research
Condensed matter physics; low temperature physics; superconductivity; magnetism; materials Physics
Topics of interest
Our main interest has been the synthesis and characterization of novel intermetallic compounds including ternary and multinary compounds, and their superconducting and magnetic properties.
One topic
has been the high-Tc-superconductors,
their preparation in form of bulk
polycrystalline material and the growth of single crystals,
the determination of phase equilibria in the corresponding multinary
systems, as well as the study of vortex pinning and critical currents.
We further arehave been interested in the relation between chemical composition
and physical properties of materials, e.g. in ternary
rare-earth silicides, quaternary borocarbides high-Tc
cuprates and ruthenate-cuprates .
