Schultheiß awarded Jürgen Geiger Foundation Prize
The Professor Dr. Jürgen Geiger Foundation has awarded its 17th annual Dissertation Prize to Helmut Schultheiß, for his work entitled “Coherence and damping behavior of spin waves in magnetic microstructures”. The award, prize money to the sum of 1,000 Euros, was presented to Schultheiß during a ceremony at the Stadtsparkasse Kaiserslautern at the end of October this year.
Schultheiß, who undertook his dissertation at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, under the supervision of Burkard Hillebrands, is currently employed at the Argonne National Laboratory, in the United States.
Schultheiß’s pioneering work concerns theoretical models and further development of Brillouin light scattering microscopy, and acts to contribute to our understanding of magnetic microstructures in solids.
The Professor Dr. Jürgen Geiger Foundation is supported by both the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft and the Stadtsparkasse Kaiserslautern – the former being a member society of the European Physical Society.
