The 154th Topical Symposium of the Magnetic Society of Japan

Recent Progress on Fabrication of Nano-Structured Magnetic Materials

Recently, there has been growing importance in fabrication and control of the nano-structure in magnetic materials. New challenges for the nano-structuring, in addition to the conventional film deposition and pattering processes, are starting especially in tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) devices, current-perpendicular-to-the-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) devices and patterned magnetic recording media. In this topical symposium, we have invited active authorities and planned their lectures on recent progress in such fields. We very much look forward to your participation. Moreover, we will also welcome the continuing participation from the general meeting of the Magnetic Society of Japan.
