Die Aktivitäten des ER-C-2 zielen darauf ab, ein Verständnis der Strukturen, Eigenschaften und grundlegenden Mechanismen von strukturellen, funktionellen und elektronischen Materialien auf atomarer Ebene zu schaffen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf Systemen zur Energiegewinnung, Energieumwandlung und Energiespeicherung. Weitere Anwendungsbereiche sind hochfeste Stähle, Leichtbaumaterialien für den Transport, funktionelle Grenzflächen in Verbundwerkstoffen und Biomaterialien und ihre technologischen Gegenstücke.

Weg zu weiterer Miniaturisierung von FeRAM

Jülich / Aachen, 2 February 2021. Ferroelectric Random Access Memory, or FeRAM for short, offers both working memory and data storage in one. This saves on the time and energy needed by conventional computers to transport data between the two units. In addition, the saved data is retained even without a power supply. The write performance and service life of these components are already outstanding and the first FeRAMs are already in use, for example in chip cards or RFID tags. However, comparatively small amounts of data can as yet be stored on a FeRAM, as the space required for storing individual bits is too large.

PGI Kolloquium: Prof. Dr. Silke Bühler-Paschen, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria

There has been considerable recent progress in discovering and understanding quantum phases and fluctuations produced by strong correlations. Heavy fermion systems are an ideal platform for systematic studies because low and competing energy scales make them highly tunable. As such the phases (faces) of strong correlations transform continuously into one another, I will discuss some of the most interesting phenomena, ranging from quantum critical points governed by fluctuations beyond a vanishing Landau order parameter to correlation-driven topological phases such as the recently discovered Weyl-Kondo semimetals.
