Research Training Group: 5th PhD Symposium

The 5^th Symposium of the PhD program in Correlated Magnetism took place on October 18, 2024. During the Symposium the SFB 1143 doctoral researchers and associated doctoral researchers of SFB project partners presented their projects with short oral presentations as well as poster presentations. Besides the opportunity to present their research projects this Symposium offered the chance to get to know the research of other groups in the SFB, and to discuss different scientific approaches. The Symposium was organized by first year doctoral researchers and the GRK coordinator. The best oral presentation and poster presentation, which were determined by a scientific committee consisting of 3 participating project partners, were awarded a prize.  Due to the excellent performance of two PhD students, the prize for the best oral presentation was awarded twice.

The 1^st place in the category best poster presentation was given to Julia Besproswanny on STM studies on the Weyl semimetal and superconductor trigonal PtBi₂ and the 1^st place for the best oral presentation went to Christos Kourris with the contribution Kondo screening in a Kitaev-type spin-orbital liquid. We congratulate the winners for their outstanding achievements. We congratulate both scientists for their outstanding achievements. More information about the Symposium can be found here.
