Peter Böni

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Böni (* 1955 ) is a Swiss physicist and professor at the Technical University of Munich who works in basic research on condensed matter . In 2009, Böni, together with his 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

Peter Böni studied physics at the ETH Zurich , where he also did his doctoral thesis. This was followed by a research stay at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (USA) before he became deputy head of the Neutron Scattering Section at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. 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.
