Prof. Dieter Vollhardt was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Warsaw last week in recognition of his scientific achievements and longstanding collaboration with theoretical physicists at the University of Warsaw.

Eine nachhaltige, nicht vom seltenen Helium abhängige, Kühlmethode für Quantentechnologie entwickeln Forschende am Institut für Physik. Die Erfindung soll im nächsten Schritt zu einem Unternehmen ausgegründet werden. Für dieses Vorhaben und die Vorarbeiten dazu wurde das Projektteam „Solidcryo“ jetzt mit dem ersten Preis des Businessplan-Wettbewerbs Schwaben ausgezeichnet

Physicists from the University of Augsburg succeeded to distinguish chiral orders with similar magnetization but opposite sense of rotation through electrical measurements at low temperatures. This is relevant for fundamental research on complex magnets and with respect to possible applications for magnetic data storage. The results were published in the renowned journal Nature Physics.

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.

Die Stiftung der Universität Augsburg und das Institut für Physik der Universität Augsburg verleihen den Professor Erich Krautz-Preis 2021 an Frau Dr. Romy Lena Ettlinger für ihre Dissertation "Herstellung und Charakterisierung von Metall-organischen Gerüstverbindungen als Drug Delivery System für arsenhaltige Wirkstoffe".
