Walter Benjamin Fellowship for Daisuke Takegami
March 13, 2023
Congratulations to Daisuke Takegami for his successful application for a DFG Walter Benjamin Fellowship. During his 24-month research stay at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan with Prof. Mizokawa, which he will begin in September, he will work on “Systematic HAXPES study of transition metal/Pb/Bi-based energy materials”.

The kagome metal LuCo6Ge6 exhibits opposite carrier polarities along different crystallographic directions, producing a giant transverse thermoelectric response without magnetic fields. The discovery establishes a new design principle that exploits electronic structure of materails with kagome lattices for efficient energy conversion.
An international research team, including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, has developed a new approach to directly access altermagnetic order by introducing a controlled distortion of the crystal lattice.
Ultra–low-temperature transport and thermodynamic measurements down to 200 microkelvin reveal a rare, spin-triplet odd-parity superconducting state underpinned by magnetism in the heavy-fermion metal YbRh₂Si₂.
Direct observation of magnetization dynamics in 3D DNA-like nanostructures reveals resonant oscillations and a rich mode spectrum, with simulations showing that geometry can serve as a powerful tuning parameter.
A synergistic effort between theory and experiment has led to the discovery of a new family of materials that combines exotic topology with heavy-fermion physics.
A new member of the Kagome metal family that overcomes long-standing geometric constraints has been discovered and studied by an international research team led by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids (MPI CPfS). The results, published in Nature Materials, introduce the compound TbTi₃Bi₄ as a model system for designing next-generation quantum materials with highly tunable magnetic and electronic properties.
In collaboration with scientists in Germany, EPFL researchers have demonstrated that the spiral geometry of tiny, twisted magnetic tubes can be leveraged to transmit data based on quasiparticles called magnons, rather than electrons.
