MORIS 2009 - Magnetics and Optics Research International Symposium for New Storage Technology MORIS 2009

Magnetics and Optics Research International Symposium for New Storage Technology

June 16 ¨C 18, 2009
Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center
Hyogo, Japan

The 12th MORIS 2009 will be held in Japan in 2009. The conference will cover combined effects of optical, thermal and magnetic natures from fundamental new materials to application of functional media. The scope is shown as below. Using a recent advanced nano structure technology, the size can be less than optical wavelength, then the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability are strongly affected due to the influences of electron and spin response by local plasmon effect. After that, the average property can be controlled, such as a metamaterial (a negative refractive index) and a photonic crystal devices. On the other hand, laser optics and magnetic recording media can be applied to heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), which is desired for future high density HDD. When 100 femtsecond pulse laser is irradiated to a recording media, the data rate could be beyond the limit of the conventional magnetic recording, because the pulse laser in a flush breaks the magnetic ordering, then ultra fast spin reversal can be realized. And also, a new magnetic recording method without switching magnetic field can be performed with only porality change of circle polarization light. This is named as all optical recording. Thus, MORIS 2009 will have hot discussions with synergic effects of optically, thermally and magnetically phenomena.


SCOPE
MORIS (Magnetics and Optics Research International Symposium for New Storage Technology) will be provided for all researchers and engineers who are interested in new technologies for future data storage. MORIS gives a good opportunity for fruitful discussions about not only the basic research of thermal, magnetic, and optical physics, but also the recent applications such as spintronics, nano-fabrication technologies, and novel optical/magnetic materials. You can see variety of scopes for discussion in the following list.
MORIS is a single session conference with two kinds of presentations, oral presentations and poster presentations. All of the oral presentations are the invited papers, and have enough time for discussion. Contributed papers are presented at poster sessions. You will be able to enjoy your comfortable discussion to the full. Please don't hesitate to join us. We welcome your active participation!!
