| Description
general research area:
The
Bonn team is interested in pattern formation
in physical systems. The applications are
micromagnetics, viscous thin films, polymer
dynamics, crystal growth and phase transitions.
Motivation is the qualitative or quantitative
understanding of concrete phenomena in these
systems. Starting point for the analysis
are mostly multi--scale continuum models.
Methods are theoretical analysis (both asymptotic
and rigorous) and numerical simulation.

Description
particular research topics for MULTIMAT:
The
contribution of the Bonn team to MULTIMAT
is in .
One
of the topics to be considered is the cross-tie
wall in ferromagnetic thin films. The cross-tie
wall is a periodic microstructure of Néel
walls (see the experimental figure below).
The goal is to understand the mechanisms
which determine its length scale. Recent
theoretical analysis is to be refined and
complemented by numerical simulation to
allow for a quantitative comparison with
experiments.

positions:
Early
Stage Researchers
Preference
is given to Masters in Mathematics or Physics.
The candidate should have some expertise
in multi--scale modeling, and scientific
computing or theoretical analysis (e.g.
areas like calculus of variations, partial
differential equations, and tools as matched
asymptotic expansions, homogenization).
Experienced
