06.06.2017 – SPICE Spin Dynamics in the Dirac Systems workshop starts
We welcome the participants of the SPICE Spin Dynamics in the Dirac Systems workshop .
The workshop offer a platform for the knowledge exchange between diverse novel condensed matter domains such as topological insulators and superconductors, Weyl physics, topological Josephson junctions, spintronics in graphene, spin valves, spin-logic devices, quantum magnetism, spin lattices, frustrated magnets, spin liquids, non-trivial spin states, etc.
We wish you all a very productive meeting!
30.05.2017 – SPICE Non-equilibrium Quantum Matter workshop starts
We welcome the participants of the SPICE Non-equilibrium Quantum Matter workshop that starts today.
The workshop brings together leading experts – both theorists and experimentalists – working in the broad field and focuses on the most exciting recent developments in non-equilibrium many-body physics.
We wish you all a very productive workshop!
16.05.2017 – Hard Condensed Matter Seminar given by Peter Oppeneer
It is a pleasure to have Peter Oppeneer from Uppsala University as our guest today. He will give an overview of the latest developments in the theory of ultrafast magnetization dynamics.
11.05.2017 – New Guest Students from Japan and India
We welcome our current guest scientists from Japan and India. Hiroyuki Fujita from University of Tokyo and Akihiro Okamoto from Tokyo Institute of Technology will stay with us until the middle and end of July 2017 to get inspired for their PhD studies by the Antiferromagnetic Spintronics team. Whereas Shambawi Pandey conducts a two-months internship on "First-Principles Modelling of Spin Relaxation Mechanisms in High-Mobility Chalcogenide Polymers" within the Organic Spintronics team to complete her Bachelor studies at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee.
02.05.2017 – INSPIRE group welcomes new member Reza Mahani
Reza Mahani has just joined the group and will support the Organic Spintronics team as a postdoctoral researcher. Before he was a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Information and Communication Technology at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.
We wish him a good start in Mainz!
29.03.2017 – Visit of Marie Hervé
Marie Hervé from the group of Wulf Wulfhekel at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology visited us to present her work on new resonance techniques in spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and ultra-thin films exhibiting non-collinear magnetic structures. We had two very interesting days together in Mainz. Let's join forces to understand spin-transfer torques on the atomic scale!
17.03. 2017 – Meet us at the DPG Spring Meeting 2017!
You can find us in Dresden from March 19-24, where we present our work at the DPG Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section.
Consult the conference program for more details.
15.02.2017 – Joo-Von Kim revisited the INSPIRE Group
Joo-Von Kim from the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology/CNRS/Université Paris-Sud in Orsay visited the INSPIRE Group for several days. He gave an insightful talk about "Skyrmion dynamics in nanostructures: Breathing modes, oscillators, and the role of disorder". We enjoyed the discussions about skyrmion simulations and hope to see him again soon!
20.12.2016 – INSPIRE Group & Kläui Lab opened new Communication Zone
Yesterday, after three months of planning and construction, Jairo Sinova and Mathias Kläui opened the new Communication Zone. The shared communication space will be open for all members of the INSPIRE-Group, SPICE, the Kläui-Lab and their guests. The ComZone allows both groups to meet, discuss and work together on projects in a nice and modern working environment.
At the inauguration both group leaders were looking forward to even more interchange between the groups: "Whether you're just having a discussion over a cup of coffee, or a large scientific meeting, the new ComZone will be the perfect place for you. We like to thank the institute of physics for making this possible, as well as everybody who was involved in this project."
