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。这是一个两年一次的会议，汇集了世界各国领导人在他们各自的专业领域，公开讨论在纳米长度尺度和飞秒时间尺度上与基本磁性相关的主题的最新发现。这次会议对于推进基础科学和技术应用都是非常有益的。自旋电子学（利用被称为“自旋”的电子的磁性来代替设备中的电荷）的更多应用领域正在迅速发展，这是许多这些发现的结果。将会有相当数量的信息交流，从而形成对该领域未来研究和应用方向的全球视野。预计这次会议将促进新的国际合作的开始。本次会议的一个重要目的是为年轻的科学家、博士后和研究生提供一个机会，让他们了解当前感兴趣的一些话题，并在非正式的环境中与该领域的领导者进行互动。

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.
