International Workshop on Ferromagnetic Semiconductors and Synchrotron Radiation
Thursday 11th Friday 12th September 2003
Venue: Tower Seminar Room, SRS Daresbury Laboratory
Scientific Chair: Gerrit van der Laan
Organisation: Physics College, Synchrotron Radiation Source, Daresbury Laboratory, UK with support from CCP9.
Conference Office: Sue Waller

Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are expected to play an important role
in interdisciplinary materials science and future spintronics because the integration
of charge and spin degrees of freedom will deliver new types of devices for
information storage and processing. This workshop is to introduce these new
materials as well as to report on state-of-art results (both experiment and
theory). The emphasis will be on the exploitation of powerful techniques derived
from magnetic x-ray dichroism using synchrotron radiation, offering vector magnetometry
which is site, element and chemical specific.
