Elasto-Q-Mat Summer School 2022: Interplay of multiple degrees of freedom - Charge, Spin and lattice
Workshop, September 12th - 15th 2022
The exotic phases arising from the complex interplay between the electron and the elementary excitation such as phonons, magnons, etc. is one of the prominent aspects of condensed matter physics. The complex interplay often results in different competing ground states with different microscopic properties and different low energy excitations. Disrupting the system by external stimuli such as changing temperature, applying pressure, or doping with different chemical elements, one can manipulate through different phases and try to understand the microscopic multiple degrees of freedom in correlated many body systems. In addition, complex systems offer a great deal of real world applications, however, sufficient understanding and knowledge of many body interactions is first necessary on a fundamental level.
In this regard, the Elasto-Q mat summer school “Interplay of multiple degrees of freedom – charge, spin and lattice” is intended to bring the state of the art expertise in the field of condensed matter physics to educate our PhD student within the SFB Transregio 288 project. Thus, our students have the opportunity to become familiar with the current research both in terms of theoretical and experimental perspective in the diverse field of many body systems.
The summer school consists of a series of lectures from the distinguished Professors who will touch base the basic concept of physics and also provide an insight to their current field of research. Moreover, important issues/questions of the current understanding of the complex systems will be discussed.
This summer school is again organised as a part of the SFB Transregio 288, which is founded through the German Research Foundation (DFG).
The workshop will take place at
Kloster Maria Hilf
Carl-Netter Straße 7
77815 Bühl
If arriving by public transport, take the train to Karlsruhe Hbf. From there you can use the RE2 (to Konstanz) or S7 (to Achern) to get to Bühl station. It takes 15 minutes to walk from the station to Kloster Maria Hilf, alternatively you can take a bus to “Bühl Klostergarten”.

Young Research Leaders Group Workshop: Spins, Orbits, Charges, and Heat in Magnets

This SPICE Young Research Leaders Group Workshop serves as a melting pot of researchers to discuss recent developments in our understanding of the interplay between magnetism and spin, charge, orbital, and heat transport. What once began with spin-polarized electric currents in ferromagnets and the giant magnetoresistance, today is an internationally overarching research field known as spintronics. The last two decades, in particular, saw the consolidation of spintronics into modern solid state research. This was possible in large parts thanks to the experimental confirmation of the spin Hall effect and its inverse counterpart that enables electrical detection of pure spin currents. By now, it is known that the electronic spin not only couples to magnetic but also electric fields and heat gradients, adding interconversion phenomena between spin, charge, orbital degrees of freedom and heat to the spintronic inventory, examples being the spin Seebeck, spin Nernst, Edelstein, and orbital Hall effects. Being inspired by both the uncovering of fundamental physics as well as the vision that spin will serve as an information carrier, the spintronics community studied a broad range of material classes, including normal, topological, and magnetic metals as well as topological and magnetic insulators. Magnets, in particular, proved to contain a wealth of surprises, exemplified by topological magnons, topological Hall effects in skyrmion crystals, anomalous Hall effects and spin splitting in antiferromagnets, and the magnetic spin Hall effect. These findings constitute the chalk with which to draw the outlines of next-generation technologies, such as antiferromagnetic and topological spintronics, (topological) magnonics, obitronics, etc.
This workshop is organized by SPICE as part of the Gutenberg International Conference Center (GICC) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU).

This workshop aims to boost the new field of orbitronics – a next generation device technology which utilizes the orbital current as an information carrier. The orbital current is expected to be crucial in understanding physical properties of topological matters and to interact with various orders and quasi-particle excitations in nontrivial ways, which may shed lights on unresolved puzzles in correlated matters and lead to discoveries of exotic quantum phenomena. The workshop highlights the emerging concept of the orbital current from the perspective of topology and strong correlation, which are two major pillars of contemporary condensed matter physics, and seek for a novel route to achieving orbitronic devices with different materials such as van der Waals 2D materials, topological matters, oxides, surfaces and interfaces. This would not only have significant impact on next-generation of spin-torque-based memories and devices but also open a new venue for spintronics and valleytronics. The envisioned impact of the workshop is to review status-of-the-art and to discuss challenges and future directions of orbitronics by gathering both young and renowned researchers from condensed matter physics, material science, and nanotechnology.

Design of quantum many body states which elude conventional thermodynamics, has nowadays become a reality in a number of experimental platforms operating in the far-from-equilibrium regime. This workshop merges experts from three different topical areas exploring non-equilibrium control and engineering, ranging from the microscopic to the macroscopic.
At SPICE we will gather scholars working on fundaments of many-body quantum correlations and frontiers of quantum simulation in closed and open systems, encompassing applications to quantum technologies.
The goal of the conference is foster dialogue at the interface of these different research sectors, focusing on three keynote themes: (1) present and future of quantum many body simulators and their expected impact in the NISQ (noisy intermediate-scale quantum) era; (2) state of art of quantum thermalization and scrambling from the standpoint of statistical mechanics, and its role in the development of a novel generation of quantum devices; (3) survival and control of quantum many-body correlations in strongly driven-open settings.
The structure of the workshop revolves around alternating sessions on these thematic areas, offering a kaleidoscope of three workshops entangled into one. Our invited speakers are equally selected between fundamental and application-oriented areas. We encourage young scientists from all over the world to join us, and we look forward engaging them at our dedicated poster sessions.
This workshop is organized by SPICE as part of the Gutenberg International Conference Center (GICC) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU).

Ultrafast Antiferromagnetic Writing

While recent developments in photonics enable nearly lossless data transfer with speeds exceeding 1 Tb/s, current magnetic data storage cannot keep up with these data-flow rates nor decrease energy dissipations. Consequently, already now data centres are becoming the biggest consumers of electricity world-wide. Antiferromagnets represent a highly-promising playground for the quest for the fastest and the least-dissipative mechanism of data storage. However, in thermodynamic equilibrium, the energy of interaction of a magnetic field with the antiferromagnetic Néel vector is zero. Despite the 60-year long search for thermodynamic conjugates to the antiferromagnetic order parameter, efficient means to control antiferromagnetism are still being pursued. It is the main reason that hampers applications of antiferromagnets and further development of antiferromagnetic spintronics, magnonics and data storage, in particular.
Although many experimental and theoretical studies make us believe that ultrafast writing of bits in antiferromagnets at THz rates must be possible, such an ultrafast writing has never been demonstrated in antiferromagnetic media and the highest frequency of rewriting of magnetic bits (100 GHz) belongs to ferrimagnets. The landmark of 1 THz remains to be a monumental challenge.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts in ultrafast switching of antiferromagnetism, review the state-of-the-art, discuss the present challenges, define short- as well as long-term goals in the field with the ultimate goal to initiate a breakthrough towards the fastest ever and least dissipative writing of magnetic bits.
