AT THE FRONTIERS OF CONDENSED MATTER V Current Trends and Novel Materials Buenos Aires, Argentina, December 6-10, 2010

First Announcement


Dear Colleagues:

The fifth edition of the Workshop "At the Frontiers of Condensed Matter" (FCM2010) will be held at the Centro Atómico Constituyentes, Buenos Aires from 6 to 10 December 2010. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and students working at the frontiers of Condensed Matter Physics to discuss new advances and trends in the field.

The scientific program covers recent developments in fundamental and applied Condensed Matter Physics and consists on plenary, invited, and poster sessions. The conference spans the following topics:

· Multifunctional materials.
· Mesoscopic and nanoscopic devices.
· Magnetic oxides and related topics.
· Dilute magnetic semiconductors and semiconducting heterostructures.
· Intermetallic compounds.
· General field theory applications, and experimental and computational
techniques in condensed matter.

Bicentennial Symposium:
During 2010, Argentina celebrates the bicentennial of the May Revolution, an event that paved the way for its Declaration of Independence. To celebrate this anniversary, we are organizing a symposium covering the history of Condensed Matter Physics in Argentina and neighbouring countries. This symposium will take place on December 8th

Visita de Edson Passamani

Edson Passamani Caetano es un investigador del Laboratorio de Espectroscopía Mössbauer y Magnetismo de la Universidad de Espírito Santo, Vitoria. Trabaja en materiales nano, sobre problemas de exchange bias, magnetotérmicos y magnetoelásticos.
Ha adquirido un PPMS con evercool (con posterioridad a nuestra compra) al cual le han efectuado recientemente el primer service. Edson estará en La Plata entre el 16 y el 22 de mayo como Profesor Visitante y dará uno o dos seminarios. Si les parece podemos cooordinar una visita a Ingeniería para charlar sobre los problemas de nuestro PPMS.
