Advanced Light Source Users’ Meeting 2004
October 19th – 20th, 2004

Organizers: Yves Idzerda, Steve Kevan, Elke Arenholz

Magnetic Nanostructures, Interfaces, and New Materials:
Theory, Experiment, and Applications

The workshop will present recent results of research on magnetic materials with a focus on x-ray resonant scattering. The program of invited international speakers will present talks on new materials (including multifunctional oxides, ferromagnetic semiconductors, spin ladders), magnetic phenomena (coupled layers, interface disruption, magnetic tunnel barriers, magnetization dynamics), and advances in x-ray measurements applied to magnetic systems (diffuse x-ray resonant magnetic scattering, speckle, soft x-ray diffraction) at different synchrotron facilities. The workshop is designed to be strongly interactive, with time for discussion and interaction and is intended to bring together experts from different fields of magnetism research (synthesis of new materials, characterization of magnetic properties using synchrotron based and other techniques, modeling of magnetic phenomena) for an exciting exchange of views and ideas.
