The recent discovery of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons at room temperature has changed the way we think about quantum phenomena, while also promising novel breakthroughs in the microwave technology.
This primarily experimental PhD project aims to explore the nature of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation in confined geometries and to advance its understanding to level required to generate novel ideas for its exploitation. You will perform experiments using our advanced time resolved magnetic imaging tools at microwave frequencies. For those aiming at expanding and strengthening their CV even more, we will offer opportunities to gain experience in advanced nano-fabrication and numerical modelling of the observed phenomena.
The PhD project will offer rich additional opportunities for extended scientific collaborations with and visits to leading international experts in magnonics, within an academic exchange programme NoWaPhen funded by EU (FP7) to run through to 2014.
