Call for nominations for the
2012 IUPAP Magnetism Award and Néel Medal

Extended Call for nominations for the
2012 IUPAP Young Scientist Medals in the field of Magnetis
(~extended up to March 15th 2012)

IUPAP C9 Mission

To promote the exchange of information and views among the members of the international scientific community in the general field of Magnetism including:

a. phenomena which result in the determination of magnetic interactions at the atomic level;

b. magnetic properties of materials including reduced dimensionality systems (in collaboration with other commissions as appropriate);

c. technical applications of magnetic materials and generation of magnetic fields.

More about IUPAP C9 Mandate.

Events and Conferences

IUPAP sponsored Forthcoming conferences

International Conference on Magnetism (ICM) , July 08 to July 13, 2012, Bexco, Busan, Korea

We, Korean magnetic community members, are very pleased to host ICM2012. The field of magnetism is rapidly growing all over its industry and related academic areas in Korea. The Korean magnetic community has been the 3rd largest in terms of participants in the recently held major international conferences on magnetism. In addition, as one of the countries leading the world in various industry fields, Korea is recognized as a role model for all developing countries.

Sergio O. Valenzuela, Departament de Fica, Campus de la UAB, Universitat Automa de Barcelona, Spain University

For significant contributions to nonlocal spin-detection methods, including the first electronic detection of the spin Hall effect and of pure spin currents.

Eiji Saitoh, Department of Applied Physics and Physico-Informatics, Keio University, Japan

For the fabrication of highly original nanostructures and for the discovery of important spin transport phenomena, including the spin-Seebeck effect and the inverse spin-Hall effect.
