Research group description :
The Leibniz-Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung Dresden e.V. (IFW Dresden) is a non-university research institute and member of the Leibniz Association. The institute has presently about 400 staff members (including about 80 PhD students) financed by public and industrial sources. The IFW Dresden is devoted to fundamental and applied research and development, with particular emphasis on the fields of solid state and materials research.
The research program is focussed on functional materials which hold a key position in many fields of application: superconducting and magnetic materials, thin film systems and nanostructures as well as crystalline and amorphous materials. In an interdisciplinary approach it combines fundamental research in physics, chemistry and material science with the specific needs of technological application. The IFW Dresden is currently involved in a number of national and European projects on superconducting, ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials. People from different research groups of the Institute for Metallic Materials (IMW, head: Prof. L. Schultz) working on superconducting materials, nanostructures as well as on ferroelectric and ferromagnetic oxide layers will be involved in this project
