DAPHNE - Data for Photon and Neutron Experiments

© Grafik: DFG

Data in the petabyte range are produced annually at large-scale facilities. This research data must be stored for at least ten years. Now 19 scientific institutions in Germany, among them HZB, aim to develop common standards for software, data exchange and data repositories to make research data permanently available. The DAPHNE4NFDI project will be funded over the next five years as part of the National Research Data Infrastructure and is coordinated by DESY.

In research data management the FAIR criteria do apply: Data must be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, for humans as well as for algorithms. The connection to artificial intelligence methods or machine learning are also part of the task.

HZB is contributing its expertise in research data management to the project. HZB has already participated in European projects such as PaNDATA, from which the data repository ICAT emerged, as well as in Helmholtz initiatives, which resulted in the HMC Hub matter being located at HZB.

    Nanoislands on silicon with switchable topological textures
    Nanostructures with specific electromagnetic patterns promise applications in nanoelectronics and future information technologies. However, it is very challenging to control those patterns. Now, a team at HZB examined a specific class of nanoislands on silicon with interesting chiral, swirling polar textures, which can be stabilised and even reversibly switched by an external electric field.

    Lithium-sulphur pouch cells investigated at BESSY II
    A team from HZB and the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS) in Dresden has gained new insights into lithium-sulphur pouch cells at the BAMline of BESSY II. Supplemented by analyses in the HZB imaging laboratory and further measurements, a new picture emerges of processes that limit the performance and lifespan of this industrially relevant battery type. The study has been published in the prestigious journal Advanced Energy Materials.

    Largest magnetic anisotropy of a molecule measured at BESSY II
    At the Berlin synchrotron radiation source BESSY II, the largest magnetic anisotropy of a single molecule ever measured experimentally has been determined. The larger this anisotropy is, the better a molecule is suited as a molecular nanomagnet. Such nanomagnets have a wide range of potential applications, for example, in energy-efficient data storage. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Kohlenforschung (MPI KOFO), the Joint Lab EPR4Energy of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin were involved in the study.
