Marcel Kohlmann, All-Optical Helicity-Dependent Switching of FePt Granular Media, University of Greifswald (2021 – 2025)

All-optical helicity-dependent magnetization switching (AO-HDS) is a promising technique for data recording utilizing only ultrashort laser pulses. Simultaneously, it is one of the fastest known data recording methods. A bit of information is thereby deterministically written into the surface of the radiated ferromagnetic material by switching its magnetization state using the helicity of circularity polarized laser pulses. So far, the most suitable material for this method is granular FePt with grain sizes down to 4nm,…

Finn-Frederik Stiewe, Spintronic THz Emitters for High Spatial Resolution and Broad Frequency Mapping, University of Greifswald (2020 - 2023)

In this work, 2-dimensional measurements in the THz frequency range with self-made spintronic THz emitters were presented. The STE were used to optimize the spatial resolution and determine the magnetization in geometric shapes. At the beginning, various combinations of FM and NM layers were produced and measured to achieve an optimal composition of the STE. The layer thickness of the ferromagnetic CoFeB layer and the nonmagnetic PT layer was also varied. The investigations have shown that a layer combination of 2 nm thick CoFeB and 2 nm thick Pt, applied to a fused silica glass substrate and covered with a 300 nm thick SiO2 layer, emits the highest THz amplitude. Based on these, a structured sample, consisting of an STE and an additional layer system of 5 nm Cr and 100 nm Au, was produced. Further, three wedge-shaped structures were removed from the gold layer by an etching process so that the THz radiation generated by the STE can pass through these areas. This enables the optimization of the resolution of the system….

Nina Meyer, Photocurrents in topological insulator nanowire and Hall bar devices, University of Greifswald (2016 - 2021)

n this thesis, the transport properties of topological insulators are investigated. In contrast to trivial insulators, topological insulators possess conducting boundary states which cross the bulk energy gap that separates the highest occupied electronic band from the lowest unoccupied band. The materials used in this thesis are three-dimensional topological insulators with time-reversal symmetry. Their associated helical surface states are protected against elastic backscattering by Kramers degeneracy. The unique properties of the helical surface states can be utilized to generate spin-polarized currents at the surface of topological insulators and to control their propagation direction. This makes them a promising material class for the field of spintronics…
