2012 ALS User Meeting Workshop
“Advanced
characterization of critical magnetic materials”

Location: 67-3111 (Chemla room at the Molecular Foundry)
Organizers: P. Fischer (CXRO/MSD), C. Jenkins (ALS), D. Shuh (CSD), E. Arenholz (ALS)

Scope
Understanding and controlling the magnetic
properties of materials is scientifically highly attractive, but also of utmost
relevance for exploring new directions in key technologies such as magnetic
storage and sensors, electric transportation or power energy. Recent concerns
about sustainability of important magnetic elements and the need to optimize
energy efficiency in magnetic devices has triggered fundamental research
activities to either find replacement materials with optimum magnetic
parameters (magnetic anisotropy, BHmax, etc) or to
discover novel pathways to more efficiently control spins, e.g. through spin
torques and spin currents, or as electric and photonic control. Fundamental
magnetism research will help to unravel those phenomena and to provide guidance
for the discovery of
novel materials. Soft X-ray spectromicroscopies
are among the most powerful analytical tools to provide key information.
This workshop is part of a continuing effort to
bring together current and potential new users of the Advanced Light Source in
order to coordinate a science-driven approach in this important area.
