Symposium organizers: Markus Münzenberg and Andrzej Wawro

Invited Speakers:
Prof. Roland Wiesendanger, Univ. of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
Dr. Julen Ibañez-Azpiroz, CFM, San Sebastian, Spain

This symposium is devoted to experimental and theoretical studies of static and dynamic properties observed in magnetic low-dimensional systems. Particularly, the submitted works should report on the behaviour of magnetic thin films (e.g. magnetization ordering, anisotropy, interlayer coupling, spin–orbit effects etc…), possibility to engineer it, and wide aspects relevant for magnetic interfaces or surfaces. It is also focused on the thin film and interface materials development, where the physics are dominated by interface effects in monolayer ferromagnetic films. Magnetic nanostructures or nanostructures grown on magnetic surfaces meet also the scope of this symposium.
