Workshop organized in the framework of the EU Marie Curie Research Training Network ULTRASMOOTH - http://www.ultrasmooth.org under contract MRTN-CT-2003-504462
Workshop on
SMOOTHING & CHARACTERIZATION
of MAGNETIC FILMS for ADVANCED DEVICES
4-6 July 2007 Kraków, Poland
organized by
Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science,
AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków
Second announcement
SCOPE
Most of spintronic devices are based on ultra-thin
magnetic films. The quality of the interfaces of those layers
is of crucial importance for the performance of the device.
The workshop will discuss the development of novel growth
methods and post-growth smoothing techniques which
improve
the
interface
quality.
Also
advanced
characterization techniques, essential for the evaluation of
the effectiveness of the smoothing methods, will be
addressed. A special session on novel devices and
applications will be organized.
The workshop aims at disseminating the knowledge
of state of the art in smoothing and characterization
techniques for magnetic films in advanced devices among
the larger scientific community. The participation of early
stage researchers and young scientists from the new EU
member states is strongly encouraged.
