Silicon carbide (SiC) has developed into a high-performance semiconductor technology in recent years. This goes hand in hand with excellent monocrystalline wafer material and continuously improving process technology as well as understanding of SiC’s fundamental material and device physics. However,...

What do the digitization of agriculture, differential equations and electromagnetic radiation have in common? These are three fields of outstanding pre-scientific work with which students from the Nuremberg metropolitan region have won a Dr. Hans Riegel subject prize. A total of 18 papers in the sub...

The PHYsics DIversity NEtwork (PHYDINE) aims to highlight, discuss, inform and raise awareness of various aspects of diversity at the Department of Physics across structures and open to all members by building a network. PHYDINE consists of a digital and an analogue level. On the digital level, ther...

An international research team including the QOQI team has succeeded for the first time in using X-rays for an imaging technique that exploits a special quantum property of light. As the researchers write in the journal Physical Review Letters, this technique could enable imaging of non-crystallized...

With great sadness we learned that our former colleague, Professor Paul Müller, passed away at the age of 74. Paul Müller’s life and career was strongly bound to the Physics Department at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He studied physics and received his doctorate in Erlangen ...
