What? — Topics of Current Research
Interfaces in Correlated Electronic Systems
How do electrons tunnel through grain boundaries
of high-Tc cuprates?
Scanning Probe Microscopy
Can the local properties (charge, spin, orbitals) of
surfaces be tested, and is our understanding of these
degrees of freedom adequate?
Quantum Fluids
Nonlinear response in fermionic superfluids and
superconductors: a tool to investigate collective excitations
Manganites
Double exchange and orbital excitations, formation
of polarons and reentrant charge ordering: a playground
for cooperative phenomena
Functional Integrals in Condensed Matter Physics
Formalisms, capable to investigate microscopic models
beyond perturbation theory
