OBJECTIVES

  The main objective of the School is to review the new exciting trends in  physics and applications of magnetic nanostructures with special emphasis on its potential for nanotechnologies. The presentations are aimed to have a high scientific quality together with a pedagogical scope accessible and useful to young students and scientists. It is expected that the School will also provide a forum to explore and discuss new scientific initiatives, particularly in relation to the VI Framework Program of the European Community. All participants will have the opportunity to present their research work in a poster or in a short oral communication.

PROGRAM

Preparation of magnetic nanostructures
Magnetic tunnel junctions, trilayers and multilayers
Electron transport through magnetic nanostructures
High-frequency magnetic dynamics on nanoscale
Current driven magnetization reversal
Spintronics (magnetic semiconductor based)
Imaging of magnetic nanostructures
Vortex formation in magnetic and superconducting nanostructures
Magnetic quantum tunneling on nanoscale
