This year MI’s program features pioneering, and emerging results in topical areas related to magnetic interfaces and nanostructures. Particular attention is given to research areas in magnetism that are of strong interest to the AVS community providing functional intersection with other divisions and focus topics. The program will cover a wide area of topics ranging from magnetism in topological materials and how to address it in real and momentum space. Another area that is covered intensively is the field of energy efficient computing using magnetic devices. Highlight of our program will be a symposium featuring contributions of women in the field magnetism. The Magnetic Interfaces and Nanostructures Division will be selecting the best graduate student presentation from finalists for the Leo Falicov Award. MI will also offer an award for postdoctoral fellows who will be presenting papers at this International Symposium. The winners of both awards will be announced towards the end of the meeting.
