The research in our group is focusing on the formation of novel many-body quantum ground states in complex metal oxides. These novel quantum phases have been shown to be extremly sensitive to impurity scattering and would not form if the scattering rates are too high. The success of our work therefore depends on the optimal interplay between the growth of high quality single crystals of the materials under research and the ability of investigating their properties in the temperature range from 50 mK to 300 K. This research approach is reflected in the facilities available in our laboratory. The following links give short intoductions to some of the main equipment available to us.
