About project A5:
The goal of the project is an understanding of how far the properties of magnetic, nanoscaled particles relate to their crystal shape. We will explore ensembles of tailored nanoparticles of ferro-, ferri- and antiferromagnetic magnetic oxides. A joint effort will be used, combining the synthesis of particles with well-defined morphologies with state-of-the-art analytical methods and accompanying computer simulations to reveal the expected complex spin structures. We aim for the development of novel magnetic materials on the basis of the morphology of the underlying nanoparticles.
