International Workshop SpinS 2018

15-17 of October 2018 - Perpignan, France

Welcome to the website of the international Workshop SpinS "Role of magnetism in energy harvesting and conversion by hybrid nanostructures” that will be held in Perpignan. It is organized by the S2N-POEM group with the support of the Université de Perpignan Via Domitia and the  PROMES CNRS laboratory.

Topics

This will be the 10th in a series of small format (around 30 participants) workshops devoted to a selected topic in nanomagnetism, started in 2009. The basic idea of such a small-size meeting is to leave enough time for discussing a specific issue as thoroughly as possible.

This year, the workshop is meant to cover contributions to the fundamental investigation of energy channels (absorption/conversion/transfer) provided by the coupling of magnons to electrons, plasmons, phonons, photons, ...
With applications in:

- Magneto-plasmonics and magnetic tuning of optical properties in hybrid nanostructures.
- Magneto-calorics.
- Magnetic hyperthermia (fundamental mechanisms).
- Magneto-mechanical energy conversion (Magnetic Shape Memory, energy harvesters and dampers).
- Magneto-thermoelectric (energy conversion).
- Spin-caloritronics (combined transport of spin and heat).
