Research Stay at Harvard University: Searching for Lorentz Invariance Violation in neutrino telescope data

Hi, I’m Lukas, and I have been studying in the “Physics Advanced” program in Erlangen since the winter semester 2018/19! I am currently doing my PhD at the Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP), where I work on a search for Lorentz invariance violation using data collected by several neut...

Extension of the PLANETOCOSMICS framework for the calculation of geomagnetic cutoff histograms

Hi, my name is Lukas, and I’ve been studying “Physics Advanced” in Erlangen since 2018/19. During the summer semester break of 2021, I participated in RISE Worldwide, a program in which Bachelor students can apply for financially sponsored research internships at universities worldwide. This program...

Ultrafast control of spin-orbital separation probed with time-resolved RIXS

Abstract Quasi-one-dimensional systems exhibit many-body effects elusive in higher dimensions. A prime example is spin-orbital separation, which has been measured by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) in Sr2CuO3. We derive the time-resolved RIXS spectrum of Sr2CuO3 under the action of a t...

Simulation Of The Impact Of Processing Conditions On The Perovskite Film Morphology

Abstract The climate change is a worldwide pressing problem. One little contribution to solve this problem is to investigate new and better solar cells. Solar cells made out of perovskite can be made by printing and could be a low cost, eco-friendly alternative to standard silicon solar cells. Alth...

Insight into the Quantum World

Michael Nicklas has studied and obtained his PhD within the research orientated program "Physics advanced". He investigated quantum transport in individual carbon nanotubes and developed new theoretical tools for their description. Schrodingers cat The paradox of coexistence or superposition...

Molecular Hollywood

Dominik Peller is an alumnus of the Elite Physics Curriculum at the University of Regensburg. He developed the world’s first ultrafast microscope that can record the motion of an individual molecule, one trillion times faster than a conventional camera. The nanoworld in motion Every day, chemist...

Light-induced current in Weyl semi-metals

Weyl semi-metals: materials with peculiar electronic properties For many areas of industry and everyday life the effective transformation of light for the generation of electric current is of high importance - among others for the harvesting of clean energy, image-acquisition techniques in differen...

High Voltage tests for mirror electrodes of a 30 keV Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight device

Abstract The MIRACLS experiment at the ISOLDE facility at CERN seeks to overcome the sensitivity limit of conventional Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of short-lived radionuclides by extending the laser-ion interaction time by trapping ions of exotic isotopes in a Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight devic...

Simulation of X-ray spectra of astrophysical sources in the laboratory

Simulation of X-ray spectra of astrophysical sources in the laboratory Laboratory measurements in support of X-ray astrophysics Energetic processes in astrophysical objects cause emission of a continuum of X-radiation. Material in the environment of these objects imprints additional spectral lin...

Simulation Based Density Scans On Different 2D Colodial System Configurations

In a research project Johannes Schumann from Physics Advances explored how colloidal quasicrystals can be obtained by tailoring the interactions between the particles. Quasicrystals are well-ordered structures that do not posses any periodicity. Therefore, there is no unit cell and the rotational sy...

Eigenstates of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant for de Sitter and quasi-de Sitter universes

Abstract Motivated from considerations in theoretical cosmology about fluctuations in the very early universe, the aim of the project was to investigate the spectrum of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant, an invariant of the time-dependent harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian, and to analyse the behaviour o...
