Research

Main Research

Our group is working theoretically and computer supported on the following subjects

• tunneling magneto-resistence
• nano chains and nano contacts
• non-collinear magnetic structures
• scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS)
• spin relaxation
• molecular electronics
• magnetism within semi-conductors
• ultrathin metallic films
• oxidic interfaces

Basic Principles

These studies base upon the following theories

• density functional theory (DFT)
• multiple scattering theory (Screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method)
• theory of magnetism
• electronic transport theories

• Fermi Surfaces of Metallic Elements    

Scientific Networks

• Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 762: Functionality of oxide interfaces
• Priority Programme (SPP) 1386: Nanostructured thermoelectrics: Theory, model systems, and controlled synthesis    
• Research Network Nanostructured Materials
