Workshop "Functional Spintronic Nanomaterials for Radiation Detection and Energy Harvesting"

21. September 2023

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 was 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.
