Academic Career and Research Areas
- Heavy Fermion Systems: The object of investigation were UPt3, CeCu6 and YbRh2Si2 which all are unconventional Superconductors with the range of measurements to ultra-low temperatures (below 1 mK)
- Quantum Liquids and Solids: Of special interest were the nuclear ordered phases of solid 3He. This system exhibits 2 nuclear magnetic phases below 1 mK and is considered as the worlds simplest magnet but turned out to be very complicated
