Manuel Müller was member of the Gross group at WMI as a Master and Ph.D. Student between 2020 and 2023.
Master Thesis: Superconductor/Ferromagnet Heterostructures for Superconducting Spintronics (2019)
Ph.D. Thesis: Coupling Phenomena in Magnonic Hybrid Heterostructures (2023)
In his Ph.D. thesis, Manuel Müller was studying novel physical phenomena in magnonic hybrid structures as well as the exotic properties of superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures. His research involved the growth optimization of superconducting and ferromagnetic materials, ferromagnetic resonance experiments as well as the fabrication of superconducting resonators and Josephson junctions. In particular, he investigated the magnetization dynamics of various magnetic thin films coupled to other systems. The resulting hybrid systems are of interest for the control and manipulation of the magnetization dynamics in the magnetic thin films. By coupling the magnetization dynamics to different elementary excitations of the solid-state system, he could generate various hybrid modes with the overarching goal to harness the spin degree of freedom for information processing.
At the end of 2023, he left WMI to join Siltronic AG in Burhausen.
