Dr. Daniel Jost
- Alumnus/Alumna: Raman Spectroscopy: Raman Spectroscopy in Correlated Systems
Daniel Jost was member of the Gross group at WMI as a Master and Ph.D. Student as well as postdoctoral researcher between 2015 and 2020.
Master Thesis: Spin Fluctuations and Superconductivity in Doped BaFe2As2 (2016)
Ph.D. Thesis: Cooper Pairing and Fluctuations in Fe-Based Superconductors (2019)
In his Ph.D. thesis, which was supervised by PD Dr. Rudi Hackl, Daniel Jost studied unconventional superconductivity generally occuring in proximity to magnetic phases. He used Raman spectroscopy to get insight into elementary excitations including pairing interactions. In this way, he could get information on the superconducting ground state and putative sub-leading pairing tendencies, which can be probed along with magnetic excitations and fluctuations. By Raman spectroscopy, he could identify the hierarchy of pairing channels in CaKFe4As4 and critical fluctuations in Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2. The fluctuations he analysed using a novel method tailored for the low energy Raman response.
Daniel left WMI in September 2020 to become a Project Manager and Quantum Engineer at IQM Quantum Computers. In March 2021 he then joined Stanford University (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) as a Postdoctoral Scholar.
