Passend zu Ostern kommt von der Arbeitsgruppe organische Halbleiter am Lehrstuhl für Experimentalphysik IV ein ganz besonderes Ei: ein leuchtendes LED-Osterei. Das kleine Kunstwerk ist weit mehr als eine kreative Spielerei, es vereint zentrale Materialien und Forschungsansätze der Arbeitsgruppe in einem anschaulichen Objekt. [University of Augsburg]

Die Forschungsgruppe ChiPS möchte das Zusammenspiel von Spintronik mit rotierenden Gitterschwingungen, sogenannten chiralen Phononen, untersuchen. Das soll den Grundstein für neue Anwendungen in der Spintronik legen. Dafür werden Prozesse auf ultrakurzen Zeitskalen und Längenskalen auf atomarer Ebene betrachtet. Die Universität Augsburg ist mit einer Arbeitsgruppe beteiligt.

Dr Aisha Aqeel has been awarded funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the development of a Emmy Noether Junior Research Group on “Spintronics with chiral helimagnetic insulators” at the University of Augsburg. Aqeel and her research team will focus on the development of unconventional magnetic systems, referred to as helimagnets, and the optimisation of these systems for energy efficient spintronic applications.

Researchers at the University of Augsburg and the University of Vienna have discovered co-existing magnetic skyrmions and antiskyrmions of arbitrary topological charge at room temperature in magnetic Co/Ni multilayer thin films. Their findings have been published in the renowned journal Nature Physics and open up the possibility for a new paradigm in skyrmionics research. The discovery of novel spin objects with arbitrary topological charge promises to contribute to advances in fundamental and applied research, particularly through their application in information storage devices.
