Overview Organisers Programme

Overview

In the last decade there has 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.

Biographies of the organisers and speakers are available below and you can also download the programme. Recorded audio of the presentations are also available and the papers will be published in a future issue of Philosophical Transactions A.
