Karazin University, in partnership with the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics (Halle, Germany) and the National Science Center Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology, is establishing a German-Ukrainian Center of Excellence PLASMA-SPIN-ENERGY.

Within the framework of the project, since the beginning of 2025 the University has been carrying out work on two partnership projects of the Ukrainian Science and Technology Center:

  • “New Plasma Sources for Controlled Deposition of High-Quality Spintronics Layers” (Project Leader: Serhii Bohatyrenko, School of Physics and Technology),

  • “Control and Diagnostic Equipment for Advanced Plasma Deposition of Complex Spintronic Structures” (Project Leader: Maksym Khruslov, School of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence).

During this period, more than three million hryvnias have been invested in the University’s research laboratories by the Government of Germany.

In particular, equipment and components have been purchased, which are also actively used in the educational process. University researchers regularly visit Halle to conduct joint research.

The results obtained within these projects have formed the basis for new applications in competitions such as: “Frontier Science in Ukraine 2026–2028” (National Research Foundation of Ukraine), Horizon Europe Teaming for Excellence (European Commission), and IEEE “Magnetism for Ukraine 2025”.

The project team also supports other initiatives of Karazin physicists. Notably, Professor Stuart Parkin, Director of the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics and a distinguished scientist in the field of spintronics, delivered an online lecture “Spintronics for Storing Huge Amounts of Data: Past, Present, Future” within the framework of the Kharkiv Quantum Seminar.
