U.S.#-Japan Sminar: Magnetic Multilayered Structures: May 1992: Honolulu, Hawaii

该奖项支持九位美国科学家参加将于1992年5月15日至17日在夏威夷檀香山举行的美日磁性多层结构研讨会。本次研讨会的共同组织者是纽约大学物理系Peter Levy教授和日本仙台东北大学材料研究所hiroasu Fujimori教授。将涉及的主题包括：(1)金属多层结构和磁光学的制备和表征；(2)金属多层结构和磁光学基本性质的实验和理论研究，如相变、界面磁性（二维）、磁各向异性和层间磁耦合；(3)软磁薄膜的新性质和技术应用；以及巨磁阻材料。磁性和金属多层结构是薄膜研究更广泛领域的一个子类。研讨会的参与者被挑选出来讨论一些最令人印象深刻的最新进展。这些进展促进了我们对控制这些结构特性的微观相互作用的认识，此外，它们还为磁记录、信息存储和磁光记录等技术的多层材料的发展提供了指导。

This award supports the participation of nine U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan Seminar on Magnetic Multilayered Structures, to be held May 15-17, 1992 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The co-organizers of the seminar are Professor Peter Levy, Department of Physics, New York University, and Professor Hiroyasu Fujimori, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. Among the topics to be covered are: (1) preparation and characterization of metallic multilayered structures and magneto-optics, (2) experimental and theoretical studies of their basic properties, e.g., phase transitions, interface magnetism (two-dimensional), magnetic anisotropy, and interlayer magnetic coupling, and (3) novel properties and technical applications, soft magnetic films, and giant magnetoresistance materials. Magnetic and metallic multilayered structures are a subcategory of the broader field of thin film research. The seminar participants have been chosen to cover some of the most impressive recent advances. These advances promote our knowledge of the microscopic interactions that control the properties of these structures and in addition they serve as a guide for the development of multilayered materials for such technologies as magnetic recording, information storage, and magneto-optical recording.
