The IMPRS was successfully renewed until 2028

After a successful first period, the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics has been positively evaluated and extended for another six years. It will support up to 35 Ph.D. students in the field of novel atomically engineered materials for nano-systems. more

Thin film oxides: From honeycombs to quasicrystals

Breaking translational symmetry while maintaining long range order is one fascinating aspect of quasicrystals. For two-dimensional oxide quasicrystals, researchers at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Max Planck Institute Halle, and the University Grenoble-Alpes settle a long-standing question and explain the mechanism by which quasicrystrals are formed using a combination of x-ray diffraction experiments and first-principles energy stability calculations.  This work was published in Nature Communications on December 7th, 2022. more

Cooper pairs with finite momentum rectify supercurrent flow

In a paper published in Nature Physics, scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Halle show that a lateral Josephson junction made from a type-II Dirac semimetal Nickel di-telluride (NiTe2) and superconducting Niobium (Nb) electrodes exhibits a large nonreciprocal critical current such that a non-dissipative supercurrent flows in the "forward" direction but a normal dissipative current flows in the "backward" direction. more
