School on Spintronics and Nanomagnetism

13-15 Aban 1394 (Nov. 4-6, 2015)

School of Physics, IPM, Tehran

Spintronics is a new branch of nano-scale physics aiming to control, manipulate, and utilize the spin degree of freedom in metals and semiconductors. Boosted by the pioneering works of 2007 Nobel Prize winners discovering the “Giant Magneto-resistance (GMR)” effect, spintronics is one of the most promising alternatives for future electronics, data storage and processing applications. Besides, it is of very high fundamental interest for condensed matter physicists due to the peculiar role of spin combined with quantum mechanics and strong correlation effects in nano-scale magnetic systems.

This school is intended to provide a possibility for young researchers and PhD students to get familiar with the basic theories, recent experimental and theoretical progresses and future outlook of spintronics and nanomagnetism. The main topics which will be covered during a three-day school include:

- Magnetization dynamics and spin manipulation in magnetic materials

- Single spin manipulation in nanostructures

- Spin Hall Effects and topological insulators

- Spintronic devices and technologies

- Quantum magnetism
