ERC Synergy Grant: 12 million euros for research into "magic" 3D nanostructures

Jülich / Brussels, 11 October 2019 - The physicists Prof. Rafal Dunin-Borkowski and Prof. Stefan Blügel from Forschungszentrum Jülich have successfully obtained a Synergy Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). In the "3D MAGiC" project, together with partners from Mainz and Nijmegen, they will explore still largely-unknown nanoscale 3D magnetic structures. The grant is awarded for groundbreaking projects which, due to their complexity, can only be carried out by a team.

PGI Colloquium: Prof. Dr. J. Paul Attfield, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK

Early concepts of magnetism emerged from studies of magnetic minerals, notably magnetite (Fe3O4). Today we know of many types of magnetism and magnetic materials, but transition metal oxides remain important as they are based on abundant, non-toxic elements and can offer large magnetisations at room temperature.
