Tutorial: Towards 3D Nanomagnetism: Fundamental Aspects and Technological Applications
Monday, October 31
2:00 PM – 4:30 PM CST – Onsite Session
This session will only be available live onsite in Minneapolis. The recording will be available on the virtual platform starting November 7.
Chaired by Charudatta Phatak, Argonne National Laboratory
Over many decades, research on magnetic materials has focused on two dimensions. Advances in nanofabrication have enabled the realization of sub-micron geometries leading to numerous scientifically interesting novel spin textures that are governed by topology or frustration, sometimes mimicking those found in bulk materials. Recently, the focus has shifted towards artificial three-dimensional magnetic systems that derive from the accomplishments in lower dimensions. This session will focus on recent developments in the field of 3D nanomagnetism, including novel methods for the synthesis and characterization of 3D nanomagnetic structures, the new physics governing the behavior of this type of materials and the emerging potential technological applications of these systems, including the current challenges and prospects.
Speakers:
Emerging Physics in 3D Nanomagnets
Olivier Fruchart, SPINTEC
Synthesis and Characterization of 3D Nanomagnetic Structures
Peter Fischer, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Novel Applications of 3D Nanomagnetism
Amalio Fernandez-Pacheco, University of Zaragoza
After each presentation there will be a brief question and answer period followed by a roundtable discussion to conclude the session.

Meet the Experts
This session will be offered twice on November 1, once as as a virtual event, and once as a live event onsite in Minneapolis. You must pre-register to attend either the onsite or virtual event, although there is no additional cost to attend. Click here to register for the conference.
Students and post-doctoral researchers are invited to attend this interactive event which fosters communication between students and a distinguished group of magnetism experts. This event provides young researchers with the exclusive opportunity to participate in a small-group discussion and get expert advice on career planning, technical paper writing and publication, job searches and interviews, society involvement, and more. Registration is extremely limited so we encourage you to register early to reserve your spot at the table!
IMPORTANT NOTE: These sessions are extremely popular and traditionally have a long waiting list. Please make every effort to let us know in advance if your plans change and you are unable to attend.

Once you have established yourself in your chosen careers, what would you tell your younger self, if you could? What are the lessons learned in the rocky path to breaking the glass ceiling?
The event will feature a panel discussion with several established women in the field of science and technology. The session theme is “Looking Back, Looking Forward”, and so the panelists will share what it took for them to get to where they are in their careers, and they will also answer questions from the audience. There will also be plenty of time to mix and mingle.

Evening Session 1: Magnetism in Nature and the Universe
Tuesday, November 1
6:00 PM – 7:30 PM CST – Onsite Session
This session will only be available live onsite in Minneapolis. The recording will be available on the virtual platform starting November 7.
Chaired by Chris Leighton, University of Minnesota
In this Evening Session, the importance of long-range magnetic fields and cosmic magnetism in general on the formation of the solar system and the early Earth, as well as stars and galaxies, will be overviewed. The processes that create and sustain large-scale magnetism (still not yet understood) will be described, with emphasis on the new methods to assess small magnetic fields from distant objects and the techniques to characterize ancient magnetic fields on Earth from rocks surviving from early times. Importantly, planets, stars, gas clouds, and even entire galaxies are all magnetic. This reveals the importance of magnetic phenomena beyond condensed matter physics and the devices we all currently use in information technologies or biomedicine.
Speakers:
Magnetism Throughout The Universe
Bryan Gaensler, University of Toronto
Magnetism During Solar System Formation and on the Early Earth
Roger Rennan Fu, Harvard University
