QF Fellow and Associate seminar: Linus Kautzsch

Single crystal growth using high-pressure and ultra high-pressure laser floating zone furnaces

Linus received his Bachelors and Masters degree in Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden. During his time in Dresden, he carried out research on superconducting
Heusler compounds at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids. His interest in solid state chemistry and materials science brought him to UC Santa Barbara for the
remainder of his Master’s thesis, where his research focused on magnetic nitride compounds as skyrmion host systems. Within the UC Santa Barbara Quantum Foundry, he studies single crystal growth with high-pressure laser floating zone furnaces.
