Symposium F

Magnetic and Spintronic Materials and Devices

Symposium Scope

Magnetism has been an active area of research for more than five decades, because of the emergence of several new research areas and their applications. From hard disk drives that have helped us to store huge amount of information to permanent magnets that have made small motors and speakers possible for human use, magnetic materials have played a significant role. With the emergence of Spintronics, a branch of magnetism, several more new applications are expected to rise. Several new materials are investigated and several new physical observations are made regularly, which make this field very exciting.

Topics

  • Soft magnetic materials
  • Hard magnetic materials
  • Materials for magnetic recording
  • Materials for spintronics
  • Physics of magnonics
  • Skyrmionics
  • Topological insulators for magnetics applications

Summer School on Magnetic and Spintronics Materials

The summer school on Magnetic and Spintronics Materials will be held in conjunction with the “Symposium F: Magnetic and Spintronic Materials and Devices”. Magnetism has been an active area of research for more than five decades, because of a continuous emergence of several new research areas and their applications. From hard disk drives that have helped us to store huge amount of information to permanent magnets that have made small motors and speakers possible for human use, magnetic materials have played a significant role. With the emergence of Spintronics, several new applications are expected to rise. In this summer school, scientists well known in the relevant research areas are invited to conduct a three-day of lectures on varieties of topics.  It provides an opportunity for the students to know various aspects of magnetic materials. MRS-Singapore provides full sponsorship for students’ accommodation (only applied to overseas students) and meals. In addition, attractive prizes will be given to selected students in the poster competition session.  The following speakers and many more will present on a wide variety of topics:

 

List of Speakers (Confirmed):
  • Prof. J.M.D. Coey, Trinity College, Ireland – Basics of Magnetism
  • Prof. Victorino Franco, University of Seville, Spain – Materials for Magnetocalorics
  • Prof Christopher Marrows, University of Leeds, UK – Spin Hall Effect
  • Prof. S.N. Piramanayagam, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore – Materials for Information Storage
  • Dr. Anjan Soumyanarayanan, Institute for Materials Research and Engineering, Singapore &  National University of Singapore , Singapore – Skyrmions
  • Prof. Hariharan Srikanth, University of South Florida, USA – Magnetic Nanostructured Materials
  • Prof. K.G. Suresh, IIT Bombay, India – Heusler Alloys
  • Dr. Naganivetha Thiyagarajah, GlobalFoundries, Singapore – Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory
