The Young Investigators Workshop 2017 on Dynamic Pathways in Multidimensional Landscapes

The YIW2017's dynamic discussions crowd.

The YIW2017's dynamic discussions crowd.

24 scientists from various countries participated in the Young Investigators Workshop 2017 on Dynamic Pathways in Multidimensional Landscapes in Grainau am Eibsee in the Bavarian Alps. This workshop which was organized by Professor Alexander Föhlisch was dedicated to study the research topics of the Helmholtz Virtual Institute 419. It included both experimental and theoretical projects on molecular and chemical dynamics, phase transitions and switching as well as fundamental light-matter interaction.

The scientists who participated in this event from April 23rd to 28th discussed topics until late at night. The workshop focused on the exploration of materials for energy and technology applications. A thrilling program with state-of-the-art research presentations, very dedicated researchers, an inspiring place and an excellent team atmosphere supported the learning experience high up in the mountains of Bavaria.

Another Young Investigators Workshop will be planned for 2018 - check out our website under events in due time.

    Ultrafast magnetism: heating magnets, freezing time
    Magnetic solids can be demagnetized quickly with a short laser pulse, and there are already so-called HAMR (Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording) memories on the market that function according to this principle. However, the microscopic mechanisms of ultrafast demagnetization remain unclear. Now, a team at HZB has developed a new method at BESSY II to quantify one of these mechanisms and applied it to the rare-earth element Gadolinium, whose magnetic properties are caused by electrons on both the 4f and the 5d shells. This study is completing a series of experiments done by the team on Nickel, Iron-Nickel Alloys. Understanding these mechanisms is useful for developing ultrafast data storage devices.

    Solar energy for a sport watch: HZB Technology Transfer Prize 2021 awarded
    At first glance, it looks like an ordinary wristwatch. But its glass taps the energy of the sun. A research group at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin has made this possible. Their transparent photovoltaics have now even made it into mass production, securing the team this year's HZB Technology Transfer Award.

    Portrait Annette Pietzsch: Researching fundamental phenomena of our world
    Annette Pietzsch has many jobs: the physicist develops instruments for BESSY II that researchers can use to observe how molecules interact with each other. She mostly prefers to use the instruments to do her own research. This is what brought her from Sweden to HZB ten years ago.
