INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON SPIN WAVES

Saint-Petersburg, May 21 - 24, 2002

26th International Symposium on Spin Waves will be held in Saint Petersburg on May 21 -24, 2002 by the Council on Condensed-Matter Physics (Section on Magnetism), Russian Academy of Sciences and A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute. You and your colleagues are invited to take part in the symposium.

Scope of the Symposium

1. Spin waves in nanostructures

2. Nonlinear phenomena and relaxation processes

3. Magnetic excitations in low-dimensional substances

4. Magnetic excitations in disordered media

5. Interactions of spin waves with elastic waves and other excitations

6. Neutron scattering by spin waves

7. Dynamics of magnetic-domain walls

8. Other new topics in magnetic dynamics

Papers containing unpublished results as well as review lectures devoted to urgent problems are to be submitted.

The registration fee will be $100, or less in case the Organizing committee gets sufficient financial support.

Please, inform us not later than November 1, 2001 · will you take part in the symposium · the title of the paper or lecture you intend to submit (if possible send a short abstract) · address the second announcement should be sent to.
