Dr. Wolfgang Prestel
- Alumnus/Alumna: High-Tc-Superconductivity: Superconductivity and Correlated Electron Systems
Wolfgang Prestel was member of the Gross groups as a Ph.D. student between 2005 and 2009.
Ph.D. Thesis: Study of the Interaction Processes in Cuprate Superconductors by a Quantitative Comparison of Spectroscopic Experiments (2012)
In his Ph.D. thesis, Wolfgang Prestel was studying high temperature superconductors by electronic Raman scattering. He applied inelastic light scattering to systematically study the doping-, temperature- and momentum-dependent electron dynamics of hole- and electron-doped cuprates. His study aimed at a better understanding of the normal state interaction processes in the cuprates. The focus was thereby placed on the strongly overdoped regime, where conventional quasiparticle behavior seems to prevail, down to optimal doping, where strong correlations leave traces in essentially all observables.
He left WMI in 2009 to start a career in industry at GP Inspect GmbH, Planegg/Martinsried, Germany.
