Chair of Experimental Physics IV
The research activities of the group of Prof. Werner Köhler are centered around transport processes in fluids and in soft matter. In particular, we are interested in:
- Soreteffekt in simple fluids
Isotope- and pseudo-isotop effect, thermophobicity - Transport in polymers and colloids
Thermophoresis of polymers and colloids, critical mixtures, spinodal decomposition, transient networks, transport processes in the vicinity of the glass transition, structure formation - Ternary mixtures
Diffusion, cross diffusion und thermodiffusion - Nonequilibrium fluctuations
Long-ranged nonequilibrium fluctuations in the presence of temperature and concentration gradients, fluctuating hydrodynamics - Optical techniques
Transient holographic gratings, light scattering, interferometry, microscopy, multi-color techniques, shadowgraphy - Microgravity experiments
