Silvia Seiro

Silvia Seiro is a researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden), specializing in crystal growth, electronic structure analysis, and magnetic properties of quantum materials. Her work focuses on advanced techniques like TSFZ, floating zone, and flux growth for synthesizing single crystals of complex intermetallic compounds and oxides.

Key research areas include:

• Valence fluctuations in EuIr₂Si₂ and YbRh₂Si₂
• Multi-orbital ground states in CeCu₂Si₂
• Spin-orbit coupling effects in 2D ferromagnetism
• Superconducting gap symmetry and pair-breaking mechanisms

Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding:

• Crystal growth methodologies for high-purity materials
• Electronic and magnetic behavior under pressure
• Theoretical-experimental correlations via DFT and x-ray spectroscopy

She collaborates extensively with institutions across Germany and Japan, contributing to journals like Physical Review B, Nature Communications, and Crystals.
