Magnetic North
Magnetic North is an organization of magnetism researchers in Canada and their
international collaborators. It is a forum for information exchange on individual and
group research activities. Magnetic North also serves as the basis for the organization
of regular magnetism sessions within the annual congress of the CAP as well as
stand-alone Magnetic North workshops. There are a broad range of magnetic researchers
in Canada, spanning various academic departments and government laboratories using a
variety of experimental, theoretical and computational techniques. Research interests
encompass geometrically constrained systems (thin films and wires), molecular magnets,
dipolar systems, frustration, quantum effects, phase transitions, magneto-electric
materials, etc. A goal of Magnetic North is to facilitate the exchange of ideas between
researchers and to reveal overlapping interests that can foster useful collaborations,
serving also to strengthen the magnetism research community in Canada as a whole.
