Nanoscale Magnets: Top-down meets Bottom-up
For the preparation of the nanomagnets there are two different approaches: Synthesis of monodisperse, small particles by means of organo-metallic and gas phase synthesis or use of self organization processes on the atomic scale (Bottom up); Standard thin film deposition techniques in combination with new lithographic techniques as diblock copolymer templates, biological templates, alumina templates and nanosphere lithography (Top down). These topics are typically covered by researchers from different communities (nano­particles, thin film magnetism, high resolution imaging, biologic or polymer templa­tes) and therefore the “Nanoscale Magnets” symposium aims at providing an interdisciplinary communication and discussion forum. It will be held 4-6 January, 2006 in Duisburg, Germany.Programme
