SUB-SECTION MEETING:
18 November 2009 (Wednesday), 6:30pm-9:00pm
(presentation begins at 7:00pm)
"Materials for new computers: smaller bits and faster memory"
The rapid increase in information storage density, and in memory density and speed, have
been brought about in part by the development of new materials. Amanda Petford-Long discusses the way in which
we can use advanced microscopy techniques to understand not only the structure and
composition of these complex materials, but also their magnetic and electrical behavior.
