Andreas MICHELS

Professor Andreas MICHELS is a Full Professor in Physics and Materials Science at the University of Luxembourg's Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine. He leads the Magnetic Neutron Scattering Group and specializes in experimental and theoretical studies of nanoscale magnetism, with a focus on magnetic materials and spin textures. His research integrates advanced neutron scattering techniques to probe nanomagnetism, surface anisotropy, and topological spin structures.

Key research interests include condensed matter physics, micromagnetic simulations, and the study of Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets. His work explores phenomena like quantum skyrmions, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, and defect-induced spin disorder in nanomaterials. He has pioneered methods for analyzing magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to reveal mesoscale magnetic configurations in bulk materials and nanoparticles.

Publications emphasize neutron scattering signatures of magnetic textures, spin dynamics in nanomagnets, and the interplay between microstructure and magnetic properties in alloys. His group's work bridges atomic-scale magnetism with mesoscale phenomena, contributing to advancements in data storage, energy materials, and spintronics.

Dr. MICHELS is affiliated with the Department of Physics and Materials Science, where he contributes to academic leadership and cutting-edge research infrastructure. His lab focuses on developing novel neutron scattering techniques and applying them to functional magnetic materials.
