Neutron resonant spin-echo spectroscopy and neutron/x-ray contrast reflectometry
Our group operates the neutron resonant spin-echo spectrometer TRISP and the neutron/x-ray contrast reflectometer NREX at the FRM-II neutron source in Garching near Munich. Our recent research focused on the combined effects of the electronic structure and lattice vibrations on superconductivity in lead and niobium, the non-Fermi liquid state in MnSi, the physics of spin fluctuations in the prototypical antiferromagnet MnF2, and several other physical problems, where the unprecedentedly high μeV-resolution of TRISP proved indispensable.

Recent highlight
The locus of Kohn anomalies extracted from the jumps in the longitudinal phonon
linewidths in the ( hk0) and ( hhl) planes in Pb (blue points),
compared to the constant-energy cut of the lowest-energy transverse acoustic
phonon branch at 2.8 meV ± 10% (red lines).
