Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf

HZDR is a member of the Helmholtz-Association of German Research Centres and pursues fundamental and applied research in the fields of Health, Matter, and Energy. Thermomagnetic generators are at the centre of these topics, as they combine novel functional matter with energy harvesting as a key environmental issue. Research activities of the Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research are devoted to the fields of functional materials for future applications, e.g., in information technology and for energy conversion. Materials cover the broad range from semiconductors and oxides to metals and include magnetic and ferroic materials. They are investigated with the goal to optimize their electronic, magnetic, optical as well as structural functionality and to implement them in novel devices.

HZDR is aligned with Technical University Dresden (TUD) in education and training (DRESDEN Concept).
