This proposal seeks funding towards supporting the 2009 Advances in Magnetic Nanostructures conference, being organized under the auspices of Engineering Conferences International (ECI). Magnetic nanostructures are of considerable interest both from the point of view of fundamental science as well as industrial applications. Due to novel magnetic and magneto-transport properties, such nanostructures can exhibit confinement of magnetic material into two or one-dimensional structures and close proximity with other materials in layered or nanocomposite structures. Reduced dimensionality, engineered interfaces and materials structures can result in new physical phenomena, such as giant and tunnel magnetoresistance, exchange bias, and spin-torque induced dynamics or reversal. These phenomena lead to new device concepts such as magnetic tunnel junctions and spin transistors for potential use in biomedical applications such as hypothermia cancer therapy, guided drug delivery among others. Intellectual Merit The proposed conference aims to provide a forum for researchers from academic institutions, government research laboratories and industry across the world to discuss fundamental and applications-oriented research on magnetic nanostructures, and to disseminate their latest research results and technological achievements. In addition, to exposing the participants to the latest research results in this exciting field, the conference offers a platform for promoting interactions between researchers for networking, collaboration and sharing ideas. The program will consist of a series of invited oral and contributed poster presentations. The conference will be partially supported by ECI and will be held on October 4- 9, 2009. The ECI meetings, organized along the lines of a Gordon Research Conference, are excellent meetings that bring out the most in a field and set trends for the future. Broader Impact One of the goals of this conference is to provide a forum for new researchers: young scientists and members of underrepresented groups, researchers from other disciplines, scientists from around the world. Significant effort will be made to include women and members of underrepresented groups as participants and invited speakers. Financial support will be used for the attendance of young scientists, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students, which will provide them an excellent opportunity to learn about major advances in the field and interact with world leaders.

该提案寻求资金支持2009磁性纳米结构进展会议，该会议由国际工程会议（ECI）主办。磁性纳米结构无论是从基础科学的角度还是从工业应用的角度来看，都具有相当大的兴趣。由于具有新颖的磁性和磁输运特性，这种纳米结构可以将磁性材料限制在二维或一维结构中，并与其他材料在层状或纳米复合结构中紧密靠近。降维、工程界面和材料结构可以产生新的物理现象，如巨磁阻和隧道磁阻、交换偏置和自旋力矩诱导的动力学或反转。这些现象导致了新的设备概念，如磁性隧道结和自旋晶体管，可用于生物医学应用，如低温癌症治疗，引导药物输送等。本次会议旨在为来自世界各地的学术机构、政府研究实验室和工业界的研究人员提供一个论坛，讨论磁性纳米结构的基础和应用研究，并传播他们的最新研究成果和技术成果。此外，为了让参与者接触到这个令人兴奋的领域的最新研究成果，会议为研究人员之间的交流、合作和分享想法提供了一个平台。该计划将包括一系列邀请的口头和贡献的海报演讲。会议将由ECI提供部分支持，将于2009年10月4日至9日举行。ECI会议是按照戈登研究会议的方式组织的，是极好的会议，可以在一个领域中发挥最大的作用，并为未来设定趋势。本次会议的目标之一是为新的研究人员提供一个论坛：年轻的科学家和代表性不足的群体的成员，来自其他学科的研究人员，来自世界各地的科学家。将作出重大努力，使妇女和代表性不足群体的成员成为与会者和应邀发言者。青年科学家、博士后研究人员和研究生将获得资金支持，这将为他们提供了解该领域重大进展并与世界领导人互动的绝佳机会。
