Christian Pfleiderer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Pfleiderer (* 1965 ) is a physicist and professor at the Technical University of Munich who is doing basic research at Peter Böni's chair in the field of magnetic materials. In 2009, Pfleiderer, together with doctoral student Sebastian Mühlbauer and colleagues from the research neutron source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz, was able to provide the first experimental evidence of a magnetic skyrmion lattice in the metal manganese silicon.

Live and act

Christian Pfleiderer studied physics at the Universities of Tübingen , Denver and Cambridge . In Cambridge he did his doctoral thesis. This was followed by research stays at the CEA Grenoble and the University of Karlsruhe , where he became head of a junior research group. He then accepted a professorship at the Technical University of Munich. His research activities included u. a. the first experimental evidence of a skyrmion lattice in the magnetic metal manganese silicon. The work published in 2009 subsequently inspired many other publications in which skyrmion lattices were also demonstrated in other material classes.
