2019-04-10: MA PhD Focus Session “Biogenic Spin Phenomena”, DPG SKM Spring Meeting, Regensburg, March 31- April 5, 2019
The PhD Focus session “Biogenic Spin Phenomena”, which was organized by Ph.D. students from the group of M. Farle, H. Wende and T. Weßels from FZ Jülich, assembled a group of prominent experts to share insights and perspectives of Biomagnetism. The symposium with about 80 participant and funded by the DPG was successful and established new links between research groups.

For us, PhD students, the organization of the event was a great experience. We are very grateful to the DPG, the jDPG, the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the Forschungszentrum Jülich for enabling this experience. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the Center of Nanointegration of Duisburg-Essen University CENIDE for financial support.

2019-04-10: MA Focus Session “Magnetic Materials for Energy Efficient Applications”, SKM Spring Meeting, Regensburg, March 31- April 5, 2019
Coordinators:Katharina Ollefs (katharina.ollefs@uni-due.de), Franziska Scheibel (scheibel@fm.tu-darmstadt.de)
The focus session which was organized by Franziska Scheibel and Katharina Ollefs turned out to be a success after having been selected by the biggest Magnetism Association ("Fachverband Magnetismus" of DPG) of the world as one of its 5 Focus session in 2019.
High performance magnetic materials are at the heart of many energy-related technologies, such as direct drive wind turbines and e-mobility. They are also important in robotics and automatization, sensors, actuators, and information technology as well as in solid state-based refrigeration. All of these technologies are expected to grow significantly in the next decades and especially, so-called green energy technologies are likely to see an exponential increase. Several international experts in the field of permanent magnets and magnetocalorics reported on different aspects of magnetic materials:

2019-03-18: 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (30 June–5 July 2019) with Iuliia Novoselova and Benjamin Zingsem
Only 600 young scientists from around the world are invited to participate at the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting ( https://www.mediatheque.lindau-nobel.org/meetings/2019 ) dedicated to physics . They have the chance to meet and discuss with 41 Nobel Laureates– including the 2018 laureates in physics Donna Strickland and Gérard Mourou.
Congratulations to our Group Members !!!

2019-03-05: Neue Mitarbeiterin: Dr. Anna Semisalova

New colleague: Dr. Anna Semisalova
We welcome Dr. Anna Semisalova as a new colleague and Habilitation candidate in our group.
Anna brings a DFG-funded project to the University of Duisburg-Essen and is looking for students for bachelor or master theses on topics related to spin dynamics and magnonics.
Also, a PhD position for investigation of magnetization dynamics in nanostructures is available..

2019-03-04: PhD students organizing PhD focus session
Magnetism in Biology and Medicine

Young scientists at the University Duisburg-Essen, RWTH Aachen and the Forschungszentrum Jülich organize a symposium at Europe’s largest physics congress. Participants of the DPG meeting in Regensburg are encouraged to join the symposium on 3rd April, 2019. No further registration is required.

The invited talks will cover innovative discoveries ranging from theranostic (theranostics = combination of therapy and diagnostics) over biogenic to bioinspired research areas, featuring renowned scientists from Europe and the US:

2019-01-22: Dr. Merivan Sasmaz from Adiyaman University in our group
We welcome Dr. Merivan Sasmaz from the Physics Department, Adiyaman University, Turkey in our group.
She successfully completed a DAAD sponsored project working in our group for two months. Now, she received a one year research grant from TUBITAK (Turkish Research Foundation) for the "Investigation of the effects of magnetic proximity effect on the magnetocaloric properties of Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys" We congratulate her on her success with DAAD and TUBITAK and look forward to a fruitful collaboration.
