About this position
The project is based at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, an internationally active user facility working in close cooperation with the partner institutes of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory (EMFL). The doctoral researcher will join a vibrant, international environment focused on high-field materials research and cutting-edge studies in the fields of energy, health, and matter.
This PhD project, “Probing Exotic Quantum Excitations via Spin Transport for Future Technologies,” explores spin transport phenomena in quantum matter. The successful candidate will develop and carry out spin Seebeck effect measurements at milliKelvin temperatures using a He3-He4 dilution refrigerator. The work combines transport and thermodynamic investigations in quantum spin chain and spin liquid systems, aiming to probe exotic quantum excitations relevant to future technologies.
The experimental work also includes single-crystal orientation by Laue X-ray diffraction and device fabrication using optical lithography, platinum sputtering, and, as an alternative route, focused ion beam processing. The PhD student will present results at international conferences and contribute to peer-reviewed publications. The position is embedded in a structured doctoral environment with opportunities for professional networking and continuing education.
