This first of a series of annual workshops in the area of magnetism will consider research related to the materials properties of magnetic systems, on various aspects of the classical physics of these materials (especially the theoretical modeling of magnetic films, spin transport, and nanomagnetic systems). In addition the workshop will consider problems in quantum magnetism such as quantum spin glasses, frustrated spin liquids, and tunnelling in magnetic molecules. For this inaugural workshop the focus will be on the dynamics of magnetic materials as studied using experimental, theoretical and simulation methods. The dynamics of magnetic materials is a field with growing relevance and enormous potential in technological applications of thin films and nanostructures for sensors and data storage.
