2010 Magnetic Nanostructures Gordon Research Conference; Bates College; Lewiston, ME; August 8 - 13, 2010

该奖项为研究生，博士后研究人员和初级教师提供部分支持，参加2010年8月8日至13日举行的2010年戈登磁性纳米结构研究会议。 这次会议将汇集纳米磁学的主要研究人员，讨论最新的发现，与年轻科学家互动，并确定未来的探索方向。 沿着电荷，电子具有磁性，量子力学性质被称为“自旋”。“这次会议提供了一个论坛，讨论在纳米级系统中的自旋依赖和磁现象。 自旋电子学，一种潜在的使用电子的新技术？的自旋而不是其电荷，仍然是一个突出的领域，但磁性纳米结构的研究涵盖了各种各样的主题。 沿着传统的主题，如磁隧道结，自旋极化材料，和图案化的纳米磁体，这仍然是非常感兴趣的主题，2010年的会议将包括在新兴领域的会议：半导体和石墨烯的自旋电子学，磁驱动基因传递，磁电存储器，和自旋电池。磁与热的耦合是本次会议的一个全新主题。这是一次独特的会议，因为该领域的领导者和年轻科学家之间进行了广泛的讨论和充分的互动机会。

This award provides partial support for graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and junior faculty to attend the 2010 Gordon Research Conference on Magnetic Nanostructures to be held August 8 - 13, 2010. This conference will bring together leading researchers in nanomagnetism to discuss the latest findings, interact with young scientists, and set future directions for exploration. Along with an electrical charge, electrons have a magnetic, quantum mechanical property know as "spin." This conference provides a forum to discuss spin-dependent and magnetic phenomena in systems at the nanoscale. Spintronics, a potential new technology that will use an electron?s spin instead of its charge, continues to be a prominent area, but the study of magnetic nanostructures encompasses a wide variety of topics. Along with traditional topics such as magnetic tunnel junctions, spin-polarized materials, and patterned nanomagnets, which continue to be topics of great interest, the 2010 conference will include sessions in emerging areas: spintronics in semiconductors and graphene, magnetically drive gene delivery, magnetoelectric memory, and spin batteries. The coupling between magnetism and heat is a completely new theme for this meeting. This is a unique conference because of the extended discussions and ample opportunities for interaction between leaders in the field and young scientists.
