The workshop will showcase recent research in antiferromagnetic materials and ultrafast magnetic processes, suggest new directions for applications, and culminate in a discussion of opportunities and needs. Magnetic materials are highly appealing for use in low-loss electronics due to their inherent non-volatility. Antiferromagnetic materials have the added advantage of being largely insensitive to stray magnetic fields.

Recently it was discovered that certain classes of antiferromagnet could exhibit current-induced magnetic switching, large magnetotransport effects and significant magneto-optical response. Since the magnetization dynamics of antiferromagnets have characteristic frequencies in the THz regime, there is outstanding potential for applications at ultra-high frequency and unprecedented device density.

The workshop aims to draw together academia and industry to establish a community for the exploitation of antiferromagnetism and ultrafast magnetic processes across a number of sectors including data storage, photonics and wireless communications. The intention is to develop a network that will drive forward future research and innovation, and bridge to new communities who may be able to contribute and benefit.
