Research interests

As joint PhD with the Ottelab I am interested in the physics of single atomic spins on a surface probed by scanning probe microscopy. What sort of coherent spin phenomena can we probe? And what is the role of the surface in all this? In some cases the surface can be detremental and result in decoherence as for spin dynamics in larger spin structures. In other cases the surfaces has a mediating role like for chains of spins on a superconductor (YSR chains). My goal is to model the surface to the detail that is required to understand what is being measured in the experiments and propose what next steps could be.
