Expertise

The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids conducts fundamental research on metal-rich and/or intermetallic compounds and biomaterials.

The main research interests are:

  • Intermetallic phases and transitions to covalent compounds
  • Intermetallic compounds with strongly correlated electrons
  • Utilization of the electron correlation for the design of new material properties
  • Unconventional ordering phenomena (charge order, magnetic order, superconductivity), characterization of heavy-fermion compounds and spin-Peierls systems
  • Quantum-critical phenomena, for example deviations from the Fermi-liquid behaviour
  • Relation between structure and properties
  • Development of new synthesis methods
  • Phase equilibriums, phase changes, non-stoichiometry
  • Valence conditions and chemical bonding
  • Thermo electrics
  • Catalytic properties (of intermetallic compounds)
  • Biomaterials
