Miscellaneous

The group would like to congratulate Bertrand, who will start in October his new position at Chercheur Qualifié at the Fond National de Recherche Scientifique (FNRS) in Belgium. He will be associated with the University of Liège in the Quantum Materials (Q-mat) research unit, which is part of the Complex and Entangled Systems from Atoms to Materials department (CESAM). He will be establishing and building a group focusing on developing computational methods and researching magnetism and metals looking at skyrmion physics, transport and superconductivity.

Sinova and collaborators have published a large review of spin-orbit torques in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems in Review of Modern Physics. Link here.

The "JGU Magazine" publishes an article about Prof. Jairo Sinova in which readers get an insight of Jairos scientific career, the research field of spintronics and his love for Mainz. Further he talks about the Spin Phenomena Interdisciplinary Center (SPICE) and the Interdisciplinary Spintronics Research Group (INSPIRE) which he built up and leads at the Institute for Physics at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz.

Pressrelease in German

We are very proud to announce that Uday Chopra (AK Sinova, JGU) is among the new members of the Gutenberg Academy for Young Researchers. Congratulations! He was admitted to the academy in a ceremony on April 23 together with 11 other PhD students from all scientific disciplines at JGU. The academy brings together up to 25 of JGU's best PhD students and artists and provides them with the chance to participate in an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas at the highest intellectual level.

We have published a series of reviews and commentaries on Antiferromagnetic Spintronics in Nature Physics.
