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部分支持。这是一个两年一度的会议，汇集了世界各国领导人在各自的专业领域，公开讨论在纳米长度尺度和飞秒时间尺度的基本磁性相关主题的最新发现。这次会议对促进基础科学和技术应用都是非常有益的。由于这些发现，自旋电子学的应用领域（使用电子的磁性称为“自旋”来代替设备中的电荷）正在迅速发展。 将有大量的信息交流，从而在世界范围内了解这一领域的研究和应用的未来方向。预计会议环境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一个机会，了解当前感兴趣的一些专题，并在非正式场合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.
