Nanostructured magnetic materials

The saga of nanostructured magnetic materials (NMMs) has prevailed since the discovery of the first giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in metals in 1988. NMMs represent a unique system that incorporates the interplay between the properties associated with spin degrees of freedom and the nanoscaled structures, which provide a very strong platform for exploring both basic science and technical applications in the fields of solid-state physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
