ABSTRACT DEADLINE: July 19, 2000

The 8th Joint Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM)-Intermag Conference will be held at the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, Texas, from Monday, January 8, through Thursday, January 11, 2001. Members of the international scientific and engineering communities interested in recent developments in magnetism and associated technologies are invited to attend the Conference and contribute to its technical sessions.


SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE:

This Conference will include all basic and applied science and technology related to the field of magnetism. The technical subject categories for the Conference are located below.


ABSTRACT GUIDELINES:

Because of the need to convey information effectively with colleagues as well as a continued increase in the number of submitted abstracts in recent years, authors should make an effort to present their work in the best possible light. Please keep in mind the following abstract acceptance criteria used by the Program Committee:

  • The research must be about magnetism, magnetic materials, or magnetism-related technology.
  • The work must be original and significant. Abstracts that describe incremental advances over previously presented work will be rejected.
  • The work must be substantially complete. Abstracts that do not specifically refer to new results or are largely conceptual will be rejected.
  • In the interest of allowing as many groups as possible to present their work, groups or individuals considering the submission of many similar abstracts should, whenever possible, combine related work.
  • The abstract must be in understandable English. If necessary, have a native English speaker edit your abstract before submission.

The abstracts must be submitted prior to the July 19, 2000 deadline. This deadline will be strictly observed. Please submit an abstract Ovide support NLY if you expect to register at the Conference WITHOUT financial support from the Conference. The Conference does NOT profor any contributed papers. In addition, the presenting author MUST be a registrant


PROGRAM:

The program will consist of invited and contributed papers falling broadly within the scope of the categories listed on the back page.
