Possible research fields

  • Influence of dopants, intrinsic defects and polarons on the properties of functional ceramics
  • Switching behavior of piezoceramics
  • Dislocations and grain boundaries in high-entropy alloys
  • Metallic nanoglasses
  • Mechanics of nanoporous metals
  • Absorber and buffer materials for photovoltaics
  • Materials for solid batteries (anode, cathode, solid electrolytes). Depending on the material, questions arise regarding structure, thermodynamics, interfaces or Li-ion transport.

Prerequisite for a thesis work in our group is a good background in solid-state (condensed matter) physics, thermodynamics and statistical physics.

For the bachelor or master thesis, experience in programming is not a prerequisite, but may be a merit.

If you are interested in one of our topics and would like to work in this area, please do not hesitate to send us your speculative application to

Prof. Dr. Karsten Albe
