<br class="">
We are writing to you to solicit nominations for invited speakers
and symposia for the 2023 Meeting of the American Physical Society
in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 6-10, 2023. We are serving as the
organizers for <b class="">Focus Topic 10.1.1,
“Magnetic Nanostructures: Materials and Phenomena”</b>, covering
the topical areas described below. This focus topic is sponsored
by the Topical Group on Magnetism and its Applications (GMAG). We
are seeking your nominations to identify the most exciting recent
work in the field. We encourage you to suggest invited speakers
and symposia and also feel free to nominate yourself as one of the
invited speakers. <br class="">
<br class="">
Nominations should be submitted by<b class=""> Friday, August 5,
2022</b> at: <a href="https://physics.planion.com/Z?8668083L3"
class="">https://PHYSICS.planion.com/Z?8668083L3</a> <br
class="">
<br class="">
Note that nominations may be made for either individual invited
speakers, or for symposia consisting of five invited speakers (and
two alternates) covering a particular theme. Please be sure to
confirm with any nominees that they would be available and willing
to participate, and that they have not given a technical talk at
the 2022 March Meeting, which would make them ineligible this year
(2022 invited speakers are listed here: <a
href="https://meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR22/APS_Invited"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR22/APS_Invited</a>). Finally, serving
a diverse and inclusive community of physicists worldwide is a
primary goal for APS. Nominations of women, members of
underrepresented minority groups, and scientists from outside the
United States are especially encouraged.</div>

<div class="">10.1.1 Magnetic Nanostructures: Materials and
Phenomena (GMAG/DMP)<br class="">
<br class="">
DESCRIPTION:</div>
<div class="">Reduced dimensionality and confinement lead to
magnetic states and spin behaviors that are markedly different
from those observed in bulk materials. This Focus Topic explores
advances in magnetic nanostructures, the novel properties that
arise in magnetic materials at the nanoscale, and the advanced
characterization tools required for understanding these
properties. Magnetic nanostructures of interest include thin
films, multilayers, graded layer structures, superlattices,
nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorings,
nanotubes, 3D nanostructures, nanocomposite materials, hybrid
nanostructures, magnetic point contacts, and self-assembled, as
well as patterned, magnetic arrays. Sessions will include talks
on the methods used to synthesize such nanostructures, the
variety of materials used, and the latest original theoretical,
experimental, and technological advances. Synthesis
and characterization techniques that demonstrate nano- or
atomic-scale control of properties will be featured, such as:
novel deposition and lithography methods; electron microscopy
(Lorentz and holographic imaging, in-situ techniques, time /
frequency resolution); advances in synchrotron methods and
neutron scattering techniques; and novel near field imaging
techniques including NV center-based imaging. Phenomena and
properties of interest include magnetization reversal
and dynamics (including ultrafast and THz dynamics), topology in
nanoscale spin textures, magnonics, magnetic interactions
including anti-symmetric and antiferromagnetic exchange,
magnetic quantum confinement, spin tunneling and spin crossover,
proximity and structural disorder effects, strain effects, and
thermal and quantum fluctuations.</div>
