Tasks: uniaxial stress tuning of quantum spin liquid materials. Uniaxial stress is a new and very powerful way to tune the electronic properties of quantum materials. We have recently established new experimental facilities to explore the electron-lattice interactions in quantum materials by means of x-ray diffraction, x-ray spectroscopy and Raman-scattering. Your task will be to take the next step and use these facilities to explore quantum spin liquid materials as a function of uniaxial stress and temperature. The aim is to discover new collective states of matter and to clarify the interplay of lattice and electrons in quantum materials. Apart from your experiments at IFMP, you will also have the opportunity to work at large scale research centers such as free electron lasers and synchrotron radiation facilities. You will join the Chair of Physics of Quantum Materials (https://tu-dresden.de/mn/physik/ifmp/pdqm) and work within the Collaborative Research Center 1143 (https://tu-dresden.de/mn/physik/sfb1143) , both offering an outstanding research environment for your project. Active collaboration with associated research groups is expected, along with project-related supervision of student theses (Bachelor, Master).
