Charles Gould

Prof. Charles Gould is an Associate Professor in the Department of Experimental Physics III at the University of Würzburg, within the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy. His research focuses on quantum transport, topological magnetic devices, and superconductivity theory, with a strong emphasis on applications in metrology. He leads studies on the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), developing materials and devices for high-precision resistance standards. His work involves molecular beam epitaxy for thin film growth and characterization of topological insulators like HgTe and (Bi,Sb)₂Te₃.

Key affiliations include the Chair of Experimental Physics III and the Institute for Topological Insulators. Gould's research integrates experimental physics with advanced fabrication techniques, addressing challenges in achieving zero-magnetic-field quantum standards. He collaborates on projects like QuAHMET, targeting metrological applications of QAHE materials. His lab also explores antiferromagnetic thin films, spin-orbit torque phenomena, and Josephson junctions in topological systems.
