Spin+X supports Ukrainian scientists

Spin+X offers support to scientists from Ukraine who have been directly affected by the war. An eligible candidate should propose a contribution relevant to the research conducted within Spin+X. If you are a Spin+X scholar interested in this call, please contact the Spin+X office and outline the science relevant to Spin+X you are proposing and the support you would like to receive. In addition, we especially encourage students from Ukraine who are pursuing a Master's or PhD program to contact us.

Spin+X - Spin in its collective environment

The Transregional Collaborative Research Center 173 Spin+X investigates spin properties from various perspectives and by connecting several scientific disciplines. Its research encompasses the whole range of spin research spanning from microscopic properties, to emergent spin phenomena and to the coupling to the macroscopic world. This constitutes a new discipline that we refer to as Advanced Spin Engineering, which seeks to create new functionalities based on spin physics. Spin+X builds on an outstanding research infrastructure in physics and chemistry at RPTU and JGU, as well as in engineering at RPTU, which are at the forefront of spin-related science and technology.

Each year, an award of € 2,000 will be granted for outstanding PhD thesis within the Graduate School of Excellence "Material Science in Mainz (MAINZ). The graduate school is a joint doctoral program between JGU Mainz, TU Kaiserslautern and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and strongly connected with Spin+X in a close collaboration with the MGK.

Former PhD students who achieve a degree "with distinction" and manage to coplete the MAINZ certificate are candidates for nomination by their supervisors. Supervisors will be informed by MAINZ to hand in a letter of nomination, a PDF version of the written thesis, the reports on the written thesis and the grading sheet of the PhD degree at the MAINZ Office. The MAINZ steering committee selects the recipients of the award from all nominations.

MAINZ Awardees are honored in a joint MAINZ Award Ceremony with MAINZ Visiting Professors. This year's awards are granted to Dr. Fabian Letscher (AG Fleischhauer, TU Kaiserslautern) and two Spin+X Ph.D students Dr. Kai Litzius (AK Mathias Kläui, JGU Mainz) and Dr. Alexey Sapozhnik (AK Hans-Joachim Elmers, JGU Mainz). We are proud of our Awardees and congratulate all recipients.
