Willkommen am TKM
Das Institut für Theorie der Kondensierten Materie wurde 1976 von Prof. Albert Schmid gegründet und umfasst heute vier Arbeitsgruppen. In enger Kooperation mit dem Institut für Nanotechnologie (INT) und dem Institut für Festkörperphysik (IFP) am Campus Nord wird ein sehr weiter Bereich aktueller Festkörperphysik bearbeitet.

Hydrotronics – Research on Novel Materials
|
The investigation of electronic hydrodynamics is a central research topic of researchers at the Institute. The emergence of hydrodynamic electronics can be seen in non-local, superballistic and turbulent transport of energy and electric charge. There is a growing interest in the hydrodynamic effects in interacting electron systems in ultra-pure materials. The EU-funded project HYDROTRONICS is coordinated by researchers of our institute. It will build a framework to describe hydrodynamic charge and energy transport fine-tuned to the material properties and sample geometry. |

Elasto-Q-Mat — DFG-funded Transregional Collaborative Research Center
|
Quantum materials are characterized by unusual physical properties. A new Transregional Collaborative Research Center (SFB-TRR) in close cooperation between the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Goethe University Frankfurt, the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, the Max Planck Institute of Polymer Research in Mainz, and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden will investigate quantum materials whose properties can be dramatically changed through elastic deformations.
