Symposium I: Nanoscale Magnetic Materials and Applications

Symposium I: Nanoscale Magnetic Materials and Applications Image

Session Topics | Tutorial | Invited Speakers | Symposium Organizers

As a subfield of nanotechnology, nanostructured magnets share many of the same basic organizing principles, such as geometric confinement, physical proximity, and chemical self organization. These principles are illustrated by means of several examples drawn from the quests for ultrastrong permanent magnets, ultrahigh-density magnetic information storage, and biomedical applications. This symposium addresses the challenges and scientific problems in magnetic nanostructures, from the fundamental issues to fabrication and applications.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Magnetic ordering at nanoscale
  • Ferromagnetic nanoparticles
  • Self assembly of magnetic nanoparticles
  • Patterned media for magnetic recording
  • Magnetic thin-film and nanowire devices for information technologies
  • Exchange-coupled hard/soft bilayers for recording media applications
  • Exchange-coupled nanocomposite permanent magnets
  • Hard magnetic thin films and devices
  • Rare-earth transition-metal permanent magnets
  • Nanostructured soft magnets
  • Emergent magnetic materials for energy-related applications
  • Novel processing techniques for magnetic nanostructures
  • Biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles

A tutorial complementing this symposium is tentatively planned. Further information will be included in the program that will be available in September.

Invited speakers include: S. D. Bader (Argonne National Lab), E. Brück (Univ. of Amsterdam, The Netherlands), J. M. D. Coey (Trinity College-Dublin, Ireland), R. Cowburn (Imperial College London, United Kingdom), N. Dempsey (Lab. Louis Néel-CNRS-Grenoble, France), J. Gao (Univ. of Texas Southwestern Medical Center), K. O’Grady (Univ. of York, United Kingdom), K. A. Gschneidner Jr. (Iowa State Univ.), J. W. Harrell (Univ. of Alabama), R. W. McCallum (Ames National Lab), O. Mryasov (Seagate Technology), S. S. Parkin (IBM Almaden Research Ctr.), J. Shield (Univ. of Nebraska), T. Shima (Tohoku Univ., Japan), I. Schuller (Univ. of California-San Diego), R. D. Shull (National Inst. of Standards and Technology), I. Takeuchi (Univ. of Maryland), J. P. Wang (Univ. of Minnesota), S. X. Wang (Stanford Univ.), Z. L. Wang (Georgia Inst. of Technology), B.
