Kai Rossnagel
Spectroscopy of quantum materials
Kai Rossnagel leads the Soft X-ray Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials Group at DESY and is Professor of Physics at Kiel University. As a condensed-matter and surface physicist, he is deeply fascinated by the unbelievable variety of spectacular structures, physical properties and cooperative phenomena emerging from the pocket universes of condensed matter.
His primary research goal is to understand the properties and function of materials and interfaces at the atomic level on the basis of their electronic structure and dynamics. To film the dance of the electrons, his group develops novel methods and instrumentation and exploits the X-ray radiation produced by DESY’s synchrotron radiation source PETRA III and the free-electron lasers FLASH and European XFEL.
