Description: Topological quantum materials have attracted enormous attention since their discovery due to the observed anomalous transport properties originating from the non-zero Berry curvature. A large, antiferromagnetically-induced anomalous Hall effect is a potentially valuable discovery for memory applications. In this PhD project, we would like to explore new topological quantum materials using neutron scattering techniques combined with in-house characterizations.
Since magnetic symmetry and topological properties are intimately connected, the determination of magnetic structure via neutron powder diffraction is an essential part of the PhD project.
Eligibility
- M. Sc. or Diploma in physics, chemistry, materials science, crystallography, or a related field.
- Experience in (neutron) scattering techniques is of advantage.
- A scientific background in the proposed research area is advantageous but not mandatory.
- Good oral and written command of the English language.
