Due to their many active and competing degrees of freedom, functional magnetic oxides show a plethora of phenomena, ranging from complex magnetic ordering to multiferroicity, from fully polarised spin transport to colossal responses to external fields, thus offering a huge potential for both rich basic physics as well as unprecedented technological applications. However, the complexity inherent to various crystal structures, electronic systems, exotic orbital and charge rearrangements, different atomic coordination, relativistic effects, defects, etc. continuously challenge the community working on magnetic oxides. The symposium will therefore gather scientists active in the fields of advanced synthesis and characterization techniques, as well as modeling and “materials-by-design” approaches. The classes of materials addressed will range from manganites to nickelates, from cuprates to ferrites, from cobaltates to other transition metal oxides (including 4d and 5d), from perovskites to spinels. In addition to bulk-related physics, particular attention will be devoted to phenomena occurring under reduced dimensionality (such as oxide-based heterostructures, nanostructures, thin films, superlattices), with emphasis on 2DEG systems, spin transport across oxide interfaces, proximity effects, electronic reconstruction, physics of domains and domain walls. Finally, the symposium will address possible applications of magnetic oxides, in electronics and energy, such as magnetic tunnel junctions, spin torque devices and magnetic refrigerators.
