Our international team at Functional Materials at TU Darmstadt conducts fundamental and applied materials research for the fields of energy conversion, mobility, cooling, medicine and robotics as well as hydrogen liquefaction and storage. The focus is on advanced nanostructured magnetic materials, which are analyzed and modelled on all length scales, from the atom to the device. This enables our FM team to develop novel multi-functional materials encompassing their synthesis, processing, and property characterization. We explore their multi-responsiveness in engineering components exposed to different stimuli and operating environments. We are especially concerned with the criticality of technology metals and the design of materials and devices for circularity from the very beginning. The transformation to renewable energy technologies is first of all a materials´ transition! Sustainable materials are a necessity for a net-zero emission energy scenario.

Solid state physics stands out through an extraordinary width of different phenomena and applications, from superconductors to semiconductors, from solar cells to thermoelectrics, from single crystals to nano- and heterostructures. It is the area were most physicists work in fundamental physics and industry.

Institute of plasma physics carries out fundamental and applied research in the field of plasma physics and materials science. The plasmas studied range from relatively cold discharge to very hot fusin plasma with very wide range of densities and lifetime from nearly-stationary thermal equilibrium plasma to highly non-equilibrium plasmas with lifetime of 1 μs or less. The Plasma Chemistry and Materials division focuses on plasma generated either by high-voltage electric discharges in gasses and liquids or by dedicated plasma torches. We study fundamental physical and chemical processes in the plasma to control and tune its properties to achieve specific effects for use in various applications, as in ecology , biology, medicine and surface treatment of materials. Thanks to smart utilization of plasma properties, we can produce pure „green“ or “turquoise” hydrogen and various forms of nanomaterials (like carbon nanoparticles), safely and ecologically dispose of hazardous waste, and protect the surfaces of components from the destructive effects of aggressive environments. We prepare and fully characterize tungsten-based materials for fusion applications, special protective coatings (as functionally-graded materials and layered composites), cold sprayed materials, and photocatalytic and dielectric materials.
The central topics of our Institute (Institute of Materials Science) are the description of the relationships between material’s processing, crystal structure and microstructure of the materials (preferentially solids) and their properties, and the application of these relationships for ‚defect engineering‘ that means the tailoring of the materials properties through a targeted interaction of the crystal structure defects. In particular, we investigate the effect of interacting crystal structure defects on the mechanical properties as well as on the phase and thermal stability. Our main experimental tools are laboratory and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (mainly for in situ and in operando studies), electron diffraction, electron microscopy, X-ray and electron spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. The experimental work is typically accompanied by micromechanical simulations and by the calculations of the phase diagrams based on the knowledge of the thermodynamic functions. The materials classes under study reach from the metallic materials (TRIP/TWIP steels showing the transformation-induced and/or the twinning-induced plasticity, titanium alloys, shape memory alloys), over the ceramics (spinels, aluminum oxides) and superhard nanocomposites (BN, (Ti,Al)N, Ti(B,C,N)) up to the materials for optoelectronics (GaN).
