Alumnus/Alumna: Organic Metals: Superconductivity and Correlated Electron Systems

Michael Kunz was member of the Gross group at WMI as a Master and Ph.D. Student between 2011 and 2016.

Master Thesis: Magnetoresistance in the Normal and Superconducting State of the Layered Organic Metal kappa-(BEDT-TTF)₂KHg(SCN)₄ under Pressure (2011)
Ph.D. Thesis: Superconductivity and Competing Ordered States in Layered Organic Metals (2016)

In his Ph.D. thesis, Michael Kunz was working on traneport properties of organic metals and superconductors as a function of temperature as well as applied pressure and magnetic field. He studied two families of organic metals, in which superconductivity occurs in the vicinity to other ordered electronic states. In the charge-density wave superconductors α-(BEDT-TTF)₂MHg(SCN)₄, where M = K, Tl, he studied the critical field anisotropy of the superconducting state, using pressure as a parameter for controlling the ground state. In the antiferromagnetic superconductors κ-(BETS)₂FeX₄, where X = Cl, Br, he investigated the interplay of localized magnetic and conducting subsystems by measuring magnetotransport properties.

After finishing his Ph.D. thesis, he joined TNG Technology Consulting GmbH at Unterföhring, Germany.
