A vector map of in-plane magnetization reveals complex magnetic domains with variable-strength local magnetization in an epitaxial ferromagnetic manganite film on a ferroelectric substrate of barium titanate at around 150 K. The data were collected at the Diamond Light Source using photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) with x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) contrast. The image is from organiser N. D. Mathur and co-workers.

Organised by Dr Neil Mathur and Professor James Scott FRS

Event details

In the last decade has there been an explosion of activity into materials and devices that interconvert magnetic and electrical signals. The magnetoelectric coupling required for this may arise in a single material or at the interface between two materials. Bulk samples, thin films and devices will be discussed.

The proceedings of this meeting are scheduled to be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions A.

Attending this event

This discussion meeting is intended for researchers in relevant fields and is free to attend, but pre-registration online is essential. 

An optional lunch is offered each day for £20+VAT per day, and should be booked at registration.  Payment is accepted online by Visa, MasterCard, Visa Debit, Maestro, Electron and Solo cards.

In the event of a booking for lunch being cancelled, the Society can only refund the payment providing the cancellation is received at no later than 5 working days before the Discussion Meeting.

This meeting is followed by a related Satellite meeting at the Kavli Royal Society International Centre entitled Magnetoelectrics at the mesoscale from 26 – 27 September 2012.
