Soft Magnetic Materials Conference

Soft Magnetic Materials Conference

The Soft Magnetic Materials Conference, commonly referred to as SMM, is an international conference devoted to all kinds of soft magnetic materials with the emphasis on industrial and applications aspects.

Format and purpose

The SMM is held for three days, every two years, often at the beginning of September in a European country. Each time the SMM has a different logo.

In SMM18 (organised by Wolfson Centre for Magnetics there were 260 participants from over 30 countries. There were 306 scientific papers presented, out of which around 200 are peer reviewed and will be published in Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, Elsevier at the beginning of 2008.

In the past the SMM proceedings have also been published in IEEE Transactions on MagneticsFerro-Milone, A.

The SMM is the largest international conference devoted to soft magnetic materials. It has active participation of the academic world as well as of industry, with a high scientific level of contributed and invited communications.

The main aim of the SMM is to bring together engineers and scientists from universities, research institutions and idustry who are active in research, development and industrial applications of the materials. The programme of the conference includes invited lectures by academic and industrial experts, oral presentations and poster sessions for regular contributions.

cope

Typical topics of the SMM are:
* Basic magnetisation processes including domain studies and Barkhausen noise
* Magnetisation characterisation and measurement techniques
* Losses, magnetostriction and B-H properties
* Non-oriented and grain-oriented electrical steels
* Novel and special magnetic materials
* Fe-Ni, Fe-Co, amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys
* Composites, powder cores and ferrites
* Power applications (e.g. motors, transformers and actuators)
* Sensors, high frequency and electronic applications
* Modelling, simulation or prediction of material and device performance
* Design of electromagnetic components and systems
* Energy and environmental aspects

Organising committees

The conference series has an International Organising Committee, chaired by J.M. Barandiaran, of Bilbao, Spain. The previous chairs were Anthony J. Moses, of Cardiff, UK, who stepped down in 2007, and John E. Thompson who was the founder chair.

For each SMM there is a Local Organising Committee (academic and research members of staff of the local university), which is responsible for local arrangements, venue, technical programme, conference dinner, etc.
