Future Pathways for Spintronics

Logo of the Heraeus foundation

Low-power, ultra-fast, robust and high-density storage and information processing devices – the 776. WE-Heraeus Seminar „Rethinking Spintronics: From Unconventional Materials to Novel Technologies“ aims to provide a platform for developing and formulating future pathways in the field of spintronics.Therefore, four Sessions with speakers from eight countries (Germany, Greece, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria, Israel, Japan and USA) will take place at the Physikzentrum Bad-Honnef from January 04 to 06, 2023, including Spin+X members Philipp Pirro, Olena Gomonay and Libor Smejkal. The deadline for registration is November 13, 2022. 

Spintronics is at the heart of modern research in the field of magnetism. Materials with complex magnetic ordering pave the path towards novel, technologically promising static and dynamic properties in magnetic topological solitons and magnonic systems. Four sessions will focus on the following: 

Session 1: Material design 
Beyond conventional materials: engineering novel material systems with tailor-made properties 

Session 2: Antiferromagnetic & Altermagnetic spintronics 
Beyond ferromagnetism: making use of magnetic ordering without net magnetization 

Session 3: Spin waves 
Beyond localized excitations: a powerful method to access intrinsic properties of magnetic materials and transfer information through magnetic circuits 

Session 4: Novel techniques 
Beyond conventional approaches: development and adaptation of new tools in fabrication, characterization, and analysis 

The organizers of the 776th WE-Heraeus Seminar are Spin+X member J-Prof. Dr. Angela Wittmann and Dr. Oleksandr V. Pylypovskyi from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. 

Organizing scientific seminars is the oldest and most prominent funding activity of the Wilhelm Heinrich Heraeus and Else Heraeus Foundation. The program has existed since 1975 and has brought together more than 40,000 participants. Heraeus seminars primarily bring experts together with doctoral students and postdocs. Therefore, contributions from young researchers are especially welcome. Registration is required for all participants. The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation provides free on-site accommodation and full board and there is no conference fee.
