Welcome

ICE people

The Interfaces and Correlated Electron systems group (ICE) focuses on materials and interfaces with unconventional electronic properties, especially related to interactions between the mobile charge carriers.

The research is aimed to bridge fundamental studies with application-oriented ‘proof-of-principle’ device developments. Most of the experimental research concentrates around thin film samples, which are fabricated in house with advanced thin film deposition and structuring techniques.

Introduction to the Physics of Correlated Electrons

For Ph.D. as well as advanced M.Sc students, Dr. Alexander Golubov will give a course on correlated electron systems in the coming 3rd quarter. Topics are low-dimensional and disordered metals and semiconductors, f- and d-electron intermetallics and transition metal compounds such as high temperature superconductors. These materials are characterized by strong interactions between the charge carriers and are generally called correlated electronic systems. ... read more
