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.

Video portraits of women in science
The videos are part of the series "Women in science at RPTU introduce themselves" by the Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Family Unit and the central equal opportunities officers of the RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau. The aim is to present video portraits of female scientists, their way there, their experiences, motivations and goals. How is it possible to combine science and career, research and teaching, family and leisure time?
Video portrait of Professor Dr. Bärbel Rethfeld
The gender officer of the Collaborative Research Center CRC/TRR 173 Spin+X, Professor Dr. Bärbel Rethfeld, has been working in the physics department of the RPTU in Kaiserslautern since 2013. There she heads the Rethfeld working group in Applied Theoretical Physics and investigates dynamic processes in excited solids on short time scales. This involves, for example, ultrafast electronic interactions, laser-excited magnetization dynamics or phase transitions on the smallest spatial scales.
