International Conference on
Nanospintronic Design and Realization 2007

May 21 - 25, 2007

Scientific coordinators:
Stefan Blügel (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany)
Patrick Bruno (Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Halle)
Dieter Weiss (Universität Regensburg, Germany)

Organisation:
Katrin Lantsch (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)

Supported by the ESF Research Networking Program
Towards Atomistic Materials Design

The main focus of the conference is on recent developments in the field of spintronic and nanospintronics and is intended to provide an overview of our current understanding of the physics of spin phenomena in (magnetic) semiconductors or hybrid structures involving metallic, semiconducting, ferromagnetic or ferroelectric materials. Besides fundamental physical properties of these systems recent advances in the development of new materials and new design concepts will be highlighted.
