The 172nd Topical Symposium of the Magnetics Society of Japan

Fabrication of nano-magnets and nano-magnetic-devices
-Top-down methods and bottom-up methods-

Thanks to recent progress of nano-technologies, fabrication techniques of very fine nano-magnets and nano-magnetic-devices have advanced in fineness and controllability, consequently the nano-magnets and nano-magnetic-devices have been used in various fields. This symposium provides an opportunity to introduce the promising technology of fabrication of the nano-magnets and the nano-magnetic-devices using the “Top-down” methods and the “Bottom-up” methods, with the recent topics of research by researchers actively working in this field. We are very much looking forward to your participation.
