On 18th and 19th November 2024, a traditional workshop organized by the Department of Spintronics and Nanoelectronics of FZU took place in Villa Lanna. The program was divided into thematic lecture blocks encompassing not only the recently discovered family of altermagnetic materials but also superconductivity and terahertz and antiferromagnetic spintronics from both theoretical and experimental points of view.
Lectures were held by researchers from the FZU as well as by invited experts from other Czech and foreign institutions. Notable speakers included Tomáš Jungwirth (FZU Prague), Libor Šmejkal (MPI Dresden and FZU Prague), Peter Wadley (University of Nottingham), Tobias Kampfrath (FU Berlin), Matthias Althammer and Matthias Opel (WMI Munich), Olena Gomonay (JGU Mainz) and Petr Němec (MFF UK, Prague).
Lanna workshops usually take place twice a year and traditionally serve as an informal platform where leading experts in the fields of spintronics and magnetism meet, present their research, and discuss recent progress. These discussions and personal meetings contribute to successful scientific collaborations, which, for example, have led to the discovery of altermagnetism.
