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.

SPIN+X at the "Nacht, die Wissen schafft" in Kaiserslautern

Interested persons listen to explanations in front of a screen

On April 13, 2018, the „Nacht, die Wissen schafft“ took place in Kaiserslautern. On this night, the science landscape of Kaiserslautern in presenting science and technology in an entertaining way.

Under the direction of the science outreach project, SPIN+X participated in the event with the following demonstrators regarding spin and magnetism phenomena:

  • a Smartboard with a spin wave animation
  • a model of the Taipeh Tower, whose elevators are controlled with GMR sensors
  • a hard disc drive with a glass lid through which the reading and writing head with a GMR sensor can be seen
  • a hands-on experiment regarding the strain-induced transition of magnetization in steel and a model train as a demonstration of a possible application of this research
