MSCA TIMES Doctoral Researcher Publishes First Results

MSCA TIMES doctoral researcher Torsten Geirsson has reached an important milestone with the publication of his first research results. The work, titled “Magnetic switching of exciton lifetime in CrSBr”, presents new insights into the control of excitonic properties in low-dimensional materials.

The study focuses on excitons -bound states of electrons and holes that play a key role in the optical properties of semiconductors- and investigates how their lifetime can be tuned using magnetic effects in the material CrSBr. Understanding and controlling these properties is highly relevant for the development of next-generation optoelectronic and quantum devices.

This publication represents an early outcome of Torsten’s doctoral research within the MSCA TIMES project and highlights the strong scientific progress achieved by its young researchers. Disseminating results is a key step in sharing findings with the international community and fostering collaboration.

The MSCA TIMES programme continues to support its doctoral candidates in producing high-quality research at the intersection of physics, materials science, and advanced computational methods.
