Wir trauern um unseren langjährigen und geschätzten Kollegen

PD Dr. rer. nat. habil. Manfred Dubiel,

der am 2. Juni 2025 verstorben ist.
Mannfred Dubiel war von 1977 bis 2017 an der Sektion Physik, heute Institut für Pysik der Uni Halle beschäftigt. Sein Arbeitsgebiet war die Glasphysik. 1977 wurde er promoviert (Thema: Aggregation von Punktdefekten ...) und 1992 habilitiert. Neben seiner Forschungsarbeit hielt er viele Jahre Vorlesungen (Atom- und Molekülphysik, Experimentalphysik) und organisierte seit 2004 den Physikstammtisch für Lehrer.

Excellence cluster "Center for Chiral Electronics" is coming

22.05.2025: MLU is one of the winners of the Excellence Strategy 2025 with the application submitted by the team led by Prof. Georg Woltersdorf from the Institute of Physics. The joint Cluster of Excellence “Center for Chiral Electronics” with the FU Berlin, the University of Regensburg and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle will receive up to 64.5 million euros in funding from 2026.

The Institute of Physics is located on the Weinberg/Heide-Süd campus, in the immediate vicinity of Fraunhofer research facilities, the Technology and Start-up Centre (TGZ) and the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics. The renovated physics buildings, which were occupied in 2009, offer state-of-the-art facilities for research and teaching.

Physics in Halle presents itself as an efficient centre for research and application of condensed matter, with internationally networked theoretical and experimental specialist groups. The main areas of research are:

  • Synthetic and biological macromolecules,
  • Solid interfaces and nanostructures,
  • Energy conversion and storage materials,
  • Medical physics (imaging).

Students are familiarised with the latest experimental and theoretical methods at an early stage and quickly come into contact with current research through individual support. Solid state physics with state-of-the-art scanning tunnelling microscopy or optical spectroscopy, polymer research based on a wide range of scattering methods and highly developed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, each with attractive questions from basic and applied research, and many other activities of the experimental groups dominate the physics picture. Strong theoretical groups work with numerical and analytical methods in close interaction with the experiments.
