Manfred Albrecht

Prof. Dr. Manfred Albrecht serves as Chairholder and Group Leader of the Magnetism research group within the Experimental Physics IV division at the Institute of Physics, University of Augsburg. His work is situated in the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Materials Engineering, where he leads investigations into advanced magnetic materials and nanostructures.

His research spans

• Magnetism in thin films and nanostructures
• Spintronics and magnonics
• Skyrmion and topological spin texture physics
• Synthetic antiferromagnets and exchange-coupled systems
• Magneto-optical and magneto-acoustic phenomena
• Functional oxide materials

His laboratory employs advanced techniques including transmission electron microscopy, ion accelerators, molecular beam epitaxy, and various magnetic characterization tools.

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate leadership in skyrmion physics, magnetoacoustic wave control, and advanced magnetic thin film systems, with high-impact publications in Nature Physics, Physical Review Letters, and Advanced Functional Materials. His work shows particular strength in room-temperature topological spin structures and nonreciprocal magnetoacoustic effects.

Prof. Albrecht supervises numerous doctoral and master's students through thesis topics in magnetism and thin films, and maintains active collaborations across international institutions. His laboratory features extensive equipment including TEM, ion accelerators, molecular beam deposition systems, and various magnetic characterization tools essential for cutting-edge nanomagnetism research.
