Overview

The central theme of Symposium E of the E-MRS Spring Conference of 1996, was the relationship of magnetic properties and device performance to structure at the nano and micrometer length scale. This text contains information presented at that symposium. Research on the magnetism of surfaces, ultrathin films and multilayers has increased in recent years. This development was triggered by the discovery of coupling between ferromagnetic layers across nonmagnetic spacer layers and of the giant magnetoresistance effect in systems of reduced dimension using various micro and nanofabrication techniques. A selection of invited and contributed papers presented at the Symposium and accepted for publication are contained within this volume. The text is arranged into seven sections which cover such subjects as nanowires, ultrathin films and surfaces, giant magnetoresistance, coupling and tunnelling and growth, structure and magnetism.
