Starting from January 2022, a regular seminar activity of the SPIN Institute will be established.
The main purposes of the initiative are:
- consolidation of the institution as a single entity
- making familiar our community with the state of the art in the various fields;
- development of the ability of young researchers to present publicly the results of their research;
- set up the bridges between facilities and sample production
- broaden the general knowledge of the Institute Staff towards various fields of physics.
In the first hand, the following fields will be mainly covered:
- superconductivity
- magnetism;
- oxides;
- thermal transport and thermoelectricity
- quantum materials and technologies
- tutorial lectures on general topics.
As general guidelines, it is proposed:
- to hold as regular practice seminars devoted to the large-scale projects executed in our Institute,
- to devote special seminars for the discussion of advanced experimental techniques, involving those performed at large-scale facilities
- to ask young researchers to present not only their specific works but also the state of art in the field of their scientific interest.
The seminar activity is open to young researchers, experienced researchers, Institute associates and to scientists of international recognition. The frequency of seminars, being held in the hybrid or purely on-line form, is supposed to be one per month (at 15:00, every last Thursday of each month).
In the spirit of the initiative, the first seminar will be given on January 27th at 15.00 by a young new member of the Spin community, Dr. Martina Esposito, with the title: "Superconducting Travelling Wave Parametric Amplifiers from near quantum-noise-limited amplification to microwave photonics".
The Working group:
Andrey Varlamov, Silvia Picozzi, Rosalba Fittipaldi, Fabio Chiarella, Emilio Bellingeri, Marco Raimondo.
