From Microscopes to Machine Learning: Imaging in Condensed Matter PhysicsIn this seminar, we will present and discuss relevant imaging and characterization techniques and examine how they contribute to our understanding of ciondensed-matter systems. Possible topics include, for example, scanning probe microscopy, electron and photoelectron microscopy, magneto-optical imaging, synchrotron- and X-ray-based methods, as well as time-resolved approaches for studying ultrafast dynamics in condensed matter.
List of suggested topics: (can be expanded on demand)
Time-resolved Scanning Tunneling Microscopy | Prof. Dr. Jure Demsar
Scattering near-field optical microscopy | Prof. Dr. Jure Demsar
Piezoforce Microscopy | apl. Prof. Dr. Gerhard Jakob
X-ray holography with examples from soft matter physics | Jun.-Prof. Dr. Katrin Amann-Winkel
Probing magnetic structures by Photoelectron-Emission Microscopy (PEEM) | apl. Prof. Dr. Martin Jourdan
Magnetic imaging by Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (SEMPA) | Dr. Robert Frömter
Time-resolved Scanning X-ray Microscopy (STXM) | Dr. Robert Frömter
Machine Learning for automated image analysis | Dr. Robert Frömter

If you are already interested in a certain topic, just send me an email <froemter@uni-mainz.de> or contact the responsible directly. Remaining topics will be distributed in the first regular seminar.
Digital teaching
The seminar is in person.Additional information
The participants are expected to prepare and conduct a rehearsal with the topics mentor at least one week in advance of the presentation.The participants are also expected to submit a one page abstract (max. 2000 characters including spaces, one Figure, and References) one week before the presentation.
