the project is
the study of topological spin systems, i.e. skyrmions in bulk
single crystals
as well as thin films. Skyrmions are chiral spin structures at
the nanometer
scale that currently receive tremendous attention as they
offer a plethora of
fascinating phenomena for fundamental research and future
technological
applications. The project involves growth and characterization
of the related
materials as well as their investigation by optical
spectroscopy, neutron
scattering, x-ray synchrotron techniques, as well as atomic
force microscopy. Facilities
for the growth of thin film samples using pulsed laser
deposition and single crystals
using an optical travelling solvent floating zone furnace are
available at UNSW.
Experiments using optical spectroscopy and atomic force
microscopy will be
conducted in the groups of A/Prof. C. Ulrich and A/Prof. J.
Seidel at the UNSW,
respectively. Neutron scattering and x-ray synchrotron
scattering experiments
will be performed at ANSTO in <st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city>
and at the
Australian Synchrotron in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place
