The topical program is in its final form. Extended abstracts are available to download below, and will also be published as a special issue of the Journal of Sciences and Arts. Slides of the lectures are being made available on a regular basis during the School.
You may also download the detailed timetable (updated Aug.28).

Introduction to the School (2h)

I. Basic concepts (4h)

II. Exchange interactions and magnetic ordering (5h)

III. Coupling with the lattice (3h)

IV. Temperature effects (3h)

V. Slow dynamics (6h)

VI. Precessional dynamics (4h)

VII. Ultra-fast dynamics (4h)

VIII. Experimental techniques (4-6h)

Tutorials (2-4h each)

Several tutorials will be organized to practice the use of numerical or analytical techniques, related to topics covered by the lectures. Computers will be provided on-site and readily setup for the tutorials. Each tutorial is typically 2-4h. Attendees will be asked for their wishes to attend such or such tutorials, however it is not possible to attend all tutorials. A tentative list of topics is found below.

Question-Answer sessions (5-10h)

The purpose of a research School is to provide young scientists with the basics in a working field. With this respect interactivity between students and lecturers should be promoted. Like in the previous editions, a key aspect of this interactivity is the possibility to raise questions at the end as well as during the course of the lectures. Besides, several sessions of questions will take place, during which the lecturers or voluntary students will present in more detail issues raised by the students during the lectures or anonymously through a question-box. See questions raised in 2011.

Posters

We encourage participants to bring posters to present their work. Practical details to be announced.
