CEM Workshop on Magnetic Domains – Dr. Rudolf Schäfer

Dr. Rudolf Schäfer is a world renowned expert on magnetism and magnetic domains. Dr. Schäfer is a co-author, together with Dr. Alex Hubert, of a monograph “Magnetic Domains. The Analysis of Magnetic Microstructures” a fundamental book on magnetic domain theory, observation techniques and interpretation. These exciting topics will be covered during the 3-day CEM sponsored workshop that will be held September 19-21 in room 4138 PRB. The workshop targets the broad audience of scientists working in the field of magnetism.
