Moscow International Symposium on Magnetism

MOSCOW INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MAGNETISM

MISM-2005

M.V.LomonosovMoscowStateUniversity, Moscow,

June 25 – 30, 2005

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

The conference “Moscow International Symposium on Magnetism” (MISM) was held in MoscowStateUniversity in 2000 and 2002. Last time more than 400 scientists from USA, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Brazil, Poland, Turkey, Czech, Japan, Korea, Russia and FormerSovietRepublics participated in MISM-2002. Proceedings of MISM-2002 were published in Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, vol.258-259, 2003. Taking into account the success of these meetings and numerous requests of participants the International Advisory Committee decided to organize MISM on regular basis, every three years. The MISM is the largest international conference on magnetism, which takes place in Russia. This time the Organizing Committee decided to focus on the most actual topics of modern magnetism and to strictly limit the total number of participants. Besides of plenary talks of tutorial character and invited talks of leading scientists the only original and top-level contributions will be considered by the Program Committee. The Organizers have very restricted funding and cannot support participants, including the members of International Advisory Committee, plenary and invited speakers but we will try to do our best to arrange useful, pleasant and not expensive stay in Moscow.

MAIN TOPICS

1. Magnetotransport and spintronics
2. High frequency properties
3. Magnetophotonics (linear and nonlinear magnetooptics, magnetophotonic crystals)
4. Magnetic Semiconductors
5. Metamaterials
6. Magnetic nanostructures and Low Dimensional Magnetism
7. New Magnetic Materials
8. Physics of magnetic and magnetoreological fluids and composites
9. Miscellaneous
