Emergency repairs to the helium liquefier

现代社会对磁性材料的依赖程度在20年前是无法想象的。它们的用途从琐碎的冰箱磁铁到无处不在的计算机。下一次范式转变肯定会发生在纳米级，磁性介质不断增加的信息密度提供了一些迹象。磁学研究是马尼托巴大学物理与天文学系的一个特别强项，涵盖了磁性材料的所有方面的专业知识。研究人员的研究计划将为基于受控磁性的下一代设备和应用打开大门，特别是在纳米尺度(NanomMagnetics)。与纳米磁性的发展相结合的是基于电子自旋而不是传统技术中的电荷的整个技术的前景。这个新兴的“自旋电子学”领域位于纳米磁学的核心。

Modern society depends on magnetic materials to an extent unimaginable even 20 years ago. Their usefulness ranges from the trivial refrigerator magnet to the ubiquitous computer. The next paradigm shift is sure to occur at the nanoscale, with indications provided by the ever increasing information density of magnetic media. Research in magnetism is a particular strength of the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Manitoba, encompassing expertise in all facets of magnetic materials. The research programs of the investigators will open the doors to the next generation of devices and applications based on controlled magnetism, especially at the nanoscale (nanomagnetism). Coupled with the development of nanomagnetism is the promise of an entire technology based on electron spin rather than charge, as is the case in traditional technology. This emerging field of "spintronics" lies at the very heart of nanomagnetism.
