2006 Gordon Conference: Magnetic Nanostructures; Queens College; Oxford, UK; September 3-8, 2006

该奖项为2006年戈登磁性纳米结构研究会议提供了部分支持。这是一次两年一度的会议，聚集了各自专业领域的世界领导人，公开讨论与纳米尺度和毫微秒时间尺度的基本磁学有关的主题的最新发现。这次会议对推动基础科学和技术应用都大有裨益。由于这些发现中的许多，自旋电子学的更广泛的应用领域(使用被称为自旋的电子的磁性来代替其在设备中的电荷)正在迅速演变。将会有大量的信息交流，从而在世界范围内对这一领域未来的研究和应用方向进行展望。预计会议的安排将促进新的国际合作的开始。这次会议的一个重要目的是为青年科学家、博士后和研究生提供机会，了解当前感兴趣的一些主题，并在非正式情况下与该领域的领导人进行互动。

This award provides partial support to the 2006 Gordon Research Conference on Magnetic Nanostructures. This is a biennial conference bringing together world leaders in their respective areas of expertise to openly discuss the latest findings in topics related to fundamental magnetism at the nanometer length scale and femto-second time scale. This meeting is highly beneficial for furthering both fundamental science and technological applications. The more applied field of spintronics (the use of the magnetic property of electrons known as 'spin' in place of their electrical charge in devices) is rapidly evolving as a result of many of these findings. There will be a considerable amount of information exchange resulting in a worldwide view of the future directions of research and applications in this field. It is expected that the conference setting will promote the start of new international collaborations. An important purpose of this meeting is to provide an opportunity for young scientists, postdoctorals and graduate students to learn about some of the current topics of interest and to interact with the leaders of this field in an informal setting.
