The SPICE workshop “Spin Textures: Magnetism Meets Plasmonics,” brought together world-leading experts to explore the intersection of magnetic and electromagnetic spin textures. Participating scientists examined how complex electron-atom interactions in solids lead to emergent physical phenomena, such as magnetic spin textures and plasmonic excitations. The workshop focused on the similarities and differences between these fields, highlighting the challenges of realizing tailored spin structures. The event, which took place in July at the Engelthal Monastery in Wasem amidst picturesque vineyards and historic architecture, promoted collaboration to advance research in this innovative field of physics.

The workshop was organized by Maria Azhar, Pascals Dreher, Frank Meyer zu Heringdorf and our CRC/TRR 270 HoMMage PI Karin Everschor-Sitte and the first two gave great overview talks on the respective individual areas. The recordings of the talks and further information are available on the SPICE website.
The CRC/TRR 270 HoMMage supported the event financially together with CRC 1242 and CENIDE of UDE.
