The Magnetic Interfaces and Nanostructures Division (MI) program features recent results and technological challenges in magnetic/spintronic materials and devices including basic and applied experimental and theoretical studies of magnetism, synthesis and processing of new magnetic materials, and new advances in magnetics-based technologies. The 2007 program will highlight new advances in spin momentum transfer, magnetic nanostructures and thin films, ferromagnetic semiconductors, spin injection (with EM), magnetism at surfaces and interfaces, magnetic imaging and spectroscopy, exchange bias, tunneling magnetoresistance, and multiferroics. The Magnetic Interfaces and Nanostructures Division encourages submissions from graduate students and will be selecting the best graduate presentation for the 2007 Leo Falicov Award. The winner of this award will be selected from six semifinalists and will receive a cash award of $1,000.
