Expertise
Main research directions
The main directions of the research at the ITF, which are embedded in the research structure of the IFW, focus on the following topics:
- Quantum magnetism, intermetallic magnets and ferroic cooling
- Topological states of matter
- Unconventional superconductivity and superconducting materials
- Self-organized electronic order at the nanoscale
- Novel ground states and spin excitations in complex transition metal oxides
- Nanoscale magnetism and skyrmionic systems
- Multifunctional inorganic nano-membranes
Methods and method development
An important aspect of the research program within the ITF is the development, application and maintenance of a numerical infrastructure dedicated to the calculation of electronic and magnetic properties of new materials and nanostructures. This infrastructure includes:
- The FPLO package, a full-potential local-orbital minimum-basis code, developed and maintained in-house
- Ab initio quantum chemistry methods
- Many-body methods for correlated electron systems
- Several high performance computer clusters tailored to the numerical needs of the IFW Dresden
