Priority Programme Skyrmionics: Topological Spin Phenomena in Real-Space for Applications

Termin:
23.10.2017
Fördergeber:
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
The Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has announced the establishment of the Priority Programme Skyrmionics: Topological Spin Phenomena in Real-Space for Applications (SPP 2137). The programme is scheduled to run for six years; the DFG invites with this call proposals for the first three-year funding period.

The main objective of the Priority Programme will be fundamental research towards the development of devices and applications based on topological spin solitons in real space, alluding to skyrmions as most prominent examples. It is motivated by the recent discovery of skyrmion lattices and isolated skyrmions in magnetic materials exhibiting bulk or interface inversion-asymmetry and associated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.

The Priority Programme will be organised in three research areas:

(1) new materials and tailored design of static and dynamic properties of topological spin solitons,

(2) topological spin solitons in nanostructured systems,

(3) topological spin solitons in artificial composite systems,

A networking meeting (participation optional) with poster presentations of the planned projects and subsequent discussions will take place on 11 July 2017 at the University of Mainz (local organiser: Dr. Karin Everschor-Sitte; kaeversc@uni-mainz.de).
The review will be held during an evaluation workshop on 18 & 19 January 2018 at the Physik-Zentrum in Bad Honnef (arrival on 17 January in the evening).
