My name is Philippe Klemm and I work as an experimental physicist and
research associate at the University of Regensburg, Germany.
My academic career started researching magnetism as a member of the
Dirk Grundler Group
at the University of Technology, Munich. Utilizing radio frequency
absorption measurements I investigated ferromagnet-semiconductor
hybrid structures and their behavior in magnetic and electric fields.
I observed pure spin currents (
Spintronic) as well as spin-precession
damping induced temperature changes.
In December 2010 I switched to a different range
of electromagnetic waves and a more
interdisciplinary topic by
joining the
John Lupton Group
at the University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany. In my ongoing PhD
studies I use visible to near infrared spectroscopic methods on random structures.
These studies can be roughly divided into two topics: On the one hand random
metal surfaces and far field observation of plasmons (
Plasmonics),
on the other hand utilizing polymers and molecules embedded in organic light emitting diodes (
OLEDs)
for observation of spin-dependent effects (
Polymerphysics).
