Nominator's project description
| Dr. Weller is well known internationally for his outstanding research in magnetic data storage media and permanent magnets. He was among the first to introduce the concept of using colloidal nanoparticles as possible magnetic single bits in magnetic media and early on opening a pathway to larger storage densities. In Germany, he intends to bring his expertise to the synthesis and better understanding of a novel magnetic material called MAX phases. He also intends to work on magnetic materials useful for applications in magnetic cooling. |
