The 148th Topical Symposium of the Magnetic Society of Japan

The magnetization reversal for various actions

The magnetization reversal is the most basic function of the magnetic materials, and the control of the magnetization reversal is important to improve the performance of magnetic devices. In these days, causing the magnetization reversal by various actions other than the magnetic field becomes possible, and it is expected to be a new way of the control technology for the magnetization reversal. In this topical symposium, invited lecturers active in the first front of the related field will give the talks for novel research relating the magnetization reversal due to various actions. We try to plan this symposium for a wide researching field, and will welcome many people to participate. Moreover, we will also welcome the continuing participation from the general meeting of the Magnetic Society of Japan.
