Welcome

The Session will focus on the challenges of growth of spintronic materials including magnetically doped nitrides, arsenides, oxides, II-VI compounds and diamond. We will discuss issues related to various characterization methods involving transport, magnetometry, optics, electron, and X-ray diffraction, microscopy, and tomography as well as spectroscopic optical and synchrotron-radiation methods. All these topics will be viewed in perspective for possible spintronic devices and applications. We hope the meeting will also serve as forum to establish a firm platform for further exchange of knowledge and collaboration among leading centers aiming to bring the spintronic concepts and promises closer to industry-wide applications.
