Proceedings of the Second Seeheim Conference on Magnetism (SCM2004)

The Second Seehiem Conference on Magnetism took place in Seeheim, Germany, 27 June -- 1 July 2004. SCM2004 focused on latest developments in the field of magnetism of nanostructured materials, surfaces, interfaces and nanoparticles. These novel materials are connected with many aspects of magnetism such as hard and soft magnetic materials, magnetic interactions, magnetization processes, spin dependent transport properties, and applications. physica status solidi (c) -- conferences and critical reviews publishes conference proceedings, ranging from large international meetings to specialized topical workshops as well as collections of topical reviews on various areas of current solid state physics research.
