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.

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.

Workshop "Functional Spintronic Nanomaterials for Radiation Detection and Energy Harvesting"
From September 25 to 27, 2023, the advanced research workshop "Functional Spintronic Nanomaterials for Radiation Detection and Energy Harvesting" (SPINNANO-2023) supported by the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme will be held in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, in a hybrid format.
The conference was organized by the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau and the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" (Kyiv, Ukraine).
The main objectives of the workshop are:
- To engage experts in the fields of fundamental and applied nanomagnetism, material science and related areas from Ukraine, Germany and other NATO member and partner countries in conversation on the fundamental physical concepts but also on the development of novel spintronic structures;
- To enhance the knowledge and qualification of young scientists working in the field of spin-torque nano-oscillators and related areas of modern spintronics and spinorbitronics;
- To consolidate NATO and partner countries around improving defense technologies against heavy weapons on their borders and provide a base for new research collaborations.
Prof. Dr. Burkard Hillebrands from RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and Dr. Igor Vladymyrskyi from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute are co-chairs of this workshop.
The organization of this scientific event is not only a contribution to the further development of spintronics and magnonics, but also a support for Ukrainian science in the context of the aggressive war unleashed by the Russian Federation, and for the entire Ukrainian people in their struggle for freedom and independence.
