On the state‐of‐the‐art in magnetic microwires and expected trends for scientific and technological studies

TLDR

The 6th International Workshop on Magnetic Wires highlighted the importance of magnetic thin wires, covering fabrication challenges, advanced physical effects, and future trends discussed during the panel session. The report summarizes the Discussion Panel and workshop presentations to outline current and future perspectives on these wire systems. The focus is on four broad topics: fabrication and processing, magnetization reversal and dynamics, high‑frequency properties, and technological applications.

Abstract

Abstract Recognizing the importance of magnetic thin wires for science and technology, the 6th International Workshop on Magnetic Wires was held on 6–7 July 2010, in Bodrum, Turkey. A wide range of topics were addressed from technological problems of micro‐ and nanowire fabrication, to advanced physical effects and novel applications. Furthermore, critical discussions on the present state of knowledge and future trends arose during the Panel Session on microwires. In the present report, the main aspects addressed at the Discussion Panel and at workshop presentations are summarized with the aim to state the present and future perspectives on these wire systems. This report is focused upon four topics chosen for broad discussions at the Panel: Fabrication and processing, Magnetization reversal and Dynamics, High‐frequency properties, and Technological applications.
