Axel Lubk

Dr. Axel Lubk is a Group Leader at the Institute for Solid State Research (IFW Dresden), specializing in advanced electron microscopy techniques for materials science. His research spans four key areas: (1) TEM method development (high-resolution imaging, tomography, holography, and in-situ techniques), (2) charge particle optics and scattering theory, (3) magnetic nanotextures (domain walls, skyrmions), and (4) plasmonics (mode hybridization in heterogeneous structures and semiconductor heterostructures).

Dr. Lubk’s work focuses on three-dimensional magnetic texture analysis using electron holography and tomography, particularly in systems like skyrmion tubes, FeGe, and Cr2O3 thin films. He has pioneered techniques for vector-field electron tomography and phase retrieval under varying boundary conditions, advancing nanoscale magnetic imaging. His recent studies include plasmonic properties in AgAu nanosphere chains, thermoelectric multilayer systems, and topological insulators like NiRh2Sb and TaTMTe4.

Dr. Lubk has published extensively in high-impact journals such as Nature Communications and Advanced Materials, with a focus on TEM instrumentation and quantitative analysis. He frequently presents at international conferences like the International Microscopy Congress and European School of Magnetism, emphasizing applications in spintronics, quantum materials, and nanostructured systems. His contributions to holographic vector-field electron tomography and machine learning for spectrum-image data have set new standards in electron microscopy.
