Workshop description

“Spin Caloritronics” and “Spin Mechanics” are emergent instruments for the control of heat, electricity, and motion by the manipulation of the spin degree of freedom in magnetic nanostructures. In order to make a spin-based energy transformation scheme interesting for industrial applications further improvements in both materials and devices is required. This workshop addresses experimental and theoretical aspects of efficient and unconventional spin transport/conversion physics for advances in the spin energy conversion, bringing together theoreticians, computational scientists and experimentalists interested in spin energy materials.
