The Austrian-Polish-Czech research project “FluMag: Fluxons and Magnons in hybrid nanostuctures” starts

12.01.2023

Oleksandr Dobrovolskiy will lead the efforts from the FWF-funded Austrian side in order to examine the physics of spin waves in ferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures

 

One of the best strategies to deal with the inherent complexity of many scientific questions is to collaborate with other scientists. In this case, the joint effort will focus on exploring novel magnonic functionalities in the emerging domain of cryogenic magnonics. This will be done through the study of the interplay of spin-wave dynamics in a ferromagnet with stray fields produced by eddy currents in a superconductor.

The three partner teams of scientists working together on this joint Austrian-Polish-Czech project possess complementing skills in microwave and optical spectroscopy, superconductivity, advanced nanofabrication, and theoretical and experimental physics of spin waves.

Joining the NanoMag’s Super Spin Lab leader Oleksandr Dobrovolskiy are Jaroslaw Kos of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (Poland), and Michal Urbánek of the Central European Institute of Technology in Brno (Czech Republic).

The scientific staff from the NanoMag’s side will also include our PhD student Sebastian Lamb-Camarena and the Master’s program student Clemens Schmid.
