The IEEE Magnetics Society Swiss Chapter, currently chaired by Aleš Hrabec, was created in 2024. Our Chapter's mission is to unite and strengthen magnetism-related activities across Switzerland, and to foster collaboration between academia and industry. We aim to promote advancements in magnetic technologies as well as the exchange of knowledge between the Chapter members.

Members of Laboratory for Mesoscopic Systems successfully ran a block course on the fabrication and characterisation of magnetic films.

Aleksandra Pac has successfully defended her thesis with the title "Artificial Spin Systems: Magnetic frustration of out-of-plane Archimedean lattices and towards control of the magnetic state with spin-orbit torques". Congratulations Aleks!

In a recent publication, we describe the development of a pioneering X-ray technique to probe the 3D orientation of a material’s building blocks at the nanoscale. The technique allows the visualization of crystal grains, grain boundaries and defects - critical factors that govern material performance.
