International workshop on
Laser-induced magnetization dynamics in nanostructures
Days: 6./7. October
Place: Seminar Hotel Stoos, Room Grosser Mythen
Scope:
Fundamental solid-state physics and electronics have progressed enormously in the last 50 years and this progress can be characterized by the words “smaller” and “faster.” This is particularly evident in magnetism as the size of bits in magnetic recording technology is now approaching 100 nm, while the writing time in laboratory studies has reached 100 ps. Naturally, understanding sub-100-ps, magnetization dynamics at a sub-100-nm scale has become an issue of vital importance for further development of the $50 billion per year magnetic industry.
Bringing together scientists working on magnetic nanostructures, magnetization dynamics, imaging and spectroscopy using lasers and X-rays we want to discuss the latest developments and future steps towards understanding of ultimately fast spin dynamics at the nanoscale.
