Welcome to the magnetism group!

We are dedicated to cutting-edge research in the field of magnonics and related areas combined with excellent teaching.

Magnonics is a subfield of spintronics, which addresses the utilization of the spin degree of freedom for applications in information and communication technologies. We study „magnetic waves“, which are spin waves and their quanta called magnons, and we address new fundamental phenomena and their potential for applications. A particular focus is on macroscopic quantum phenomena such as supercurrents and their utilization, as well as on the development of magnonic devices for the information technology.

Our research is embedded in the Collaborative Research Center 173 „Spin+X“ funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, as well as by several national, European and international projects. We offer opportunities for qualification in the frames of student assistantships, bachelor, master diploma and PhD projects in an international environment.

Ringvorlesung given on 25.04.2024 provides an overview of the research activities of our group and possible topics for bachelor and master work. The slides can be found here.

We work closely with the Nanoscale Magnonic Hybrids Research Group, led by Philipp Pirro.

Congratulations to Franziska Kühn!

On March 18, 2024, after her talk at the Spring Meeting of the German Physical Society (DPG), Franziska was awarded the "INNOMAG e.V. Diploma / Master Prize 2024.“ The prize was presented by the DPG Working Group Magnetism in recognition of her diploma work "Untersuchung von Magnongasen in mikroskopischen, thermischen Landschaften" ("Investigation of magnon gases in microscopic thermal landscapes"), which she performed in the AG Magnetismus of RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau.

Currently, Franziska is working in the AG Magnetismus on her PhD within project B04 of the Transregional Collaborative Research Center 173 "Spin+X“, focusing on the nonlinear dynamics of Bose-Einstein magnon condensates.
