The 13th international workshop on Spin Caloritronics will be held in Beijing in May 20-24, 2024. Spin Caloritronics XIII will be co-organized by Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences (UCAS) and State Key Laboratary of Surface Science (Fudan University).

This workshop marks the 13th edition of the Spin Caloritronics series, which had successful iterations in Leiden (2009, 2011), Sendai (2010, 2012), Columbus (2013, 2018), Irsee (2014), Utrecht (2016), Regensburg (2017), Groningen (2019), Urbana-Champaign (2022), and Tsukuba (2023).

The application process for the workshop has now concluded. If you submitted an application, please check the list of accepted participants and verify if you have been selected to attend the workshop.

Registration is now open, for invited speakers and accepted applicants, please scroll down to the Registration section to fill out the registration forms.

Scope

Spin caloritronics encompasses the study of coupled spin, charge, and heat transport in condensed materials and devices. As a multidisciplinary field that intersects with spintronics, thermoelectrics, optics, mechanics, and information science, it explores the fascinating connections between these domains.
