We are excited to announce the upcoming workshop, “Heusler Alloys for Spintronic Devices” to be held at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, July 30 – 31, 2015. The workshop will be organized by The Center for Spintronic Materials, Interfaces, and Novel Architectures (C-SPIN).
Materials with 100% spin polarization and high perpendicular magneto crystalline anisotropy have been the ideal for next generation spintronic memory and logic devices. Heusler alloys are a candidate for such materials and have been extensively studied over the past decade. There have been some promising results, but many roadblocks remain. This workshop will candidly discuss these promises and challenges by bringing together leading experts working in this field.
