Biography

After receiving my PhD in Engineering Physics at the Vienna University of Technology I have broadened my experimental skills during Post-doc and Research Positions at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden, where I initated several research projects on the topic of iron pnictide superconducting thin films. I worked as a Senior Researcher and Principal Investigator (DFG research grant) at the University of Tübingen and as a Visiting Associate Professor at Tokyo Tech previously. I am currently interested in the electronic properties of semimetals and interfaces.

Expectations for WRHI

WRHI supports in tracing new paths that lead to innovation and the generation of knowledge.

Research Projects

  • Growth of superconducting SmO1–xFxFeAs thin films by pulsed laser deposition（June 2016）

  • A comparative invited review on thin film growth of Fe-based superconductors（April 2014）

  • My research is devoted to experimental condensed matter physics and the study of superconductivity and superconducting materials. The investigation of the physical properties of materials as well as their use in technological applications essentially rely on the details of sample fabrication. At Tokyo Tech we therefore dedicate part of our research in the development of thin film growth by physical vapor deposition methods.
    We have recently revisited a neglected issue in the growth of fluorine-substituted iron oxypnictides with ZrCuSiAs-type structure and demonstrated an all in-situ pulsed laser deposition process on alkaline earth fluorides without necessary ex-situ post annealing.
