Overview and scope
The 5th International Conference on Physics and Applications of Spin-related Phenomena in Semiconductors (PASPS V) follows the successful series of conferences held in Sendai (2000, 2006), Würzburg (2002), and Santa Barbara (2004). Following the trend in its previous edition, PASPS V shall further stimulate the cross fertilization between the fields of semiconductor and magnetic nanosystems and should provide an ideal forum for identifying (new) challenges, open questions and opportunities in spintronics.
