A new dimension in materials research
14 Tesla for new insights into the world of quantum materials: a state-of-the-art 14-Tesla measurement platform has come into operation at the Institute of Physics at the University of Augsburg. The facility enables experiments under extreme conditions and opens up new insights into the physical fundamentals of future technologies.
Non-linear magnetic response realized in Kagome spin ice
Physicists from the University of Augsburg together with international collaboration partners identified the magnetic ordering transition in kagome spin ice HoAgGe and discovered that the nonlinear magnetic susceptibility can detect time-reversal-symmetry breaking even in the absence of net magnetization.
Humboldt Research Fellow researches quantum technology
Dr Beatriz Pérez González has recently joined the University of Augsburg as a recipient of a Humboldt Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The theoretical physicist works at the interface of quantum optics, solid-state theory, and spin-based quantum technologies. Her research could contribute to the development of scalable quantum technologies.
One atom makes all the difference: Heat transport through molecules controlled in a targeted manner for the first time
In close collaboration with researchers from the University of Michigan (USA), physicists in Augsburg have succeeded for the first time in proving experimentally and theoretically that heat transport through molecules can change by up to a factor of two through the exchange of a single atom. The study was published in the highly renowned journal Nature Materials.

Antimon-Borosulfat zeigt extrem schwache Bindung
Ein Augsburger Forschungsteam hat zusammen mit Teams aus Münster und Aachen mithilfe der Mößbauer-Spektroskopie an Antimon-Borosulfaten nachgewiesen, dass zwischen Metallion und Anion nur eine extrem schwache Bindung vorliegt. Die Erkenntnisse wurden jüngst in der renommierten Fachzeitschrift Angewandte Chemie veröffentlicht.

Voltage Switches Antiferromagnetic States on Nanosecond Timescales
Physicists at the University of Augsburg together with collaborators from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and Rutgers University, USA, have successfully switched an antiferromagnetic state in an insulator by voltage pulses, within just a few tens of billionths of a second. Their findings were recently published in Physical Review Letters.
Augsburger Studentin erhält Preis für Bachelorarbeit
In ihrer Bachelorarbeit an der Universität Augsburg untersuchte Nina Hümmer alkalisch aktivierte Bindemittel, die als umweltschonender Ersatz für Portlandzement genutzt werden können. Dafür wurde die Studentin der Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik (Materials Science & Engineering) nun von der Stiftung Steine-Erden-Bergbau und Umwelt ausgezeichnet.
