ERC Advanced Grant for Manfred Fiebig
(From the ETH website - link below):
Manfred Fiebig specialises in researching novel materials with internal magnetic and electrical ordering, known as multiferroics. These materials are often produced in the laboratory as thin layers using a vapour-deposition process (pulsed laser deposition). At present, the materials’ magnetic and electrical properties can only be investigated once the production process is complete and nothing more can be altered. In his ERC project, Fiebig intends to develop a new laser characterization technique to track these properties in real time during the manufacturing process. By adapting the growth parameters during the deposition process, the performance of the thin-film systems can be continuously optimized for best technological performance. Such materials could become the basis of novel magneto-electric sensors, device components or data storage media.
The ERC Advanced Grant is for his project: In-Situ Second Harmonic Generation for Emergent Electronics in Transition-Metal Oxides.
