Nonlinear Phononics | Juraschek Lab

We are a research group at the interface of theoretical condensed matter physics and computational materials science. We investigate hidden electronic phases in quantum materials that can be induced through nonlinear vibrational excitations of the atoms in a solid, also called nonlinear phononics.

ERC Starting Grant received

We are delighted to announce that one of the prestigious ERC Starting Grants of 2024 is going to the JuraschekLab. The project, CHIRALPHONONICS, sets out to unravel how vibrational and electronic angular momenta are coupled in solids. Press release

Lab on the move

The JuraschekLab partially moved to the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) as of October 1st, 2024.

Events in the Chiral Phonons community

Chiral Phonons @ SPICE Ingelheim 2025

As a follow-up of the 2023 CECAM workshop, we are organizing a chiral phonons workshop at the SPICE center of the JGU Mainz in July.

Chiral phonons international workshop 2025

As a center of chiral phonons research, Nanjing Normal University will host an international workshop on chiral phonons in June.

Chiral Phonons @ CHIROMAG Cost Action 2025

The first meeting of the Cost Action CHIROMAG featured sessions on chiral phonons, introducing the field to a broader magnetism community.

Chiral Phonons @ DPG Spring Meeting 2025

For the second time, the spring meeting of the German Physical Society has hosted a focus session on magnetic phenomena from phonon chirality and angular momentum, including invited and contributed talks.

Chiral Phonons @ DPG Spring Meeting 2024

For the first time, the spring meeting of the Germany Physical Society (DPG) has hosted a focus session on emergent magnetic phenomena from chiral phonons, including invited and contributed talks.

Chiral Phonons @ APS March Meeting 2024

This year's APS March Meeting has hosted two invited sessions on chiral phonons, focusing on their coupling to magnetic systems and general phenomena in quantum materials.

Chiral Phonons online workshop 2023

Following the great success of the CECAM workshop in Lugano, the International workshop on chiral phonons, hosted virtually, reached a broad audience across time zones.

Chiral Phonons @ CECAM Lugano 2023

The first workshop on Chiral Phonons in Quantum Materials hosted at CECAM Lugano in Switzerland, has been a big success. We brought together experts from different communities working on chiral phonons and built the foundation for a diverse and international community.
