Brazilian Workshop on Magnetization Dynamics

The area of the magnetization dynamics involves a wide range of topics, such as dynamic behavior of nanostructured magnetic systems, statistical aspects of the processes of magnetization, magnetotransport at high frequencies, non-destructive magnetic measurements, computational techniques, sensors and electronic applications, among others. In particular, this is an area of wide application and technology of great interest for fundamental research.

In the last decades, the number of scientists and reaseach groups working on Magnetization Dynamics has increased considerably. Thus, BWMD aims to put together the Brazilian community of students and scientist working on Magnetization Process and Magnetization Dynamics, as well as invited renowned foreign specialists in the field. In this case, the Workshop program consists of a number of invited speakers who will give lectures on important recent advances in the field, as well as a contributed oral presentations and poster session.

The I Brazilian Workshop on Magnetization Dynamics took place in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, May 6-7, 2010.

The II Brazilian Workshop on Magnetization Dynamics, will be held in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, November 28-30, 2012.  The Workshop is organized by Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, in collaboration with Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas. II Brazilian Workshop on Magnetization Dynamics is financially supported by the following institutions: CNPq, CAPES, CBPF, FAPERN, INEspaço, PPG Física/UFRN, DFTE/UFRN, EC&T/UFRN and UFRN.
