Fifty Years No-dqArbeitsgemeinschaft MagnetismusNo-dq - History of Magnetism in Germany — •H. Kronmüller — Max-Planck-Institut für Metallforschung, Heisenbergstr. 3, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany

The No-dqArbeitsgemeinschaft Magnetismus (AM)No-dq has been founded in 1956 as a united organization of four different scientific societies (DPG, DGM, VDE, VDEH). The AM supports basic research and technical applications of magnetism. To promote advanced knowledge on magnetism the AM organizes conferences and workshops and participates in international conferences. From the first meeting held in 1957 the central idea was the interdisciplinary collaboration between basic and applied research. Within the last 50 years the AM has been involved in all innovative developments in the field of magnetic materials. The main activities so far are the following ones: 1. Investigation of magnetic ground states and excited states by ab-initio electron theory and model Hamiltonians, as e.g. the Hubbard model. 2. High-coercivity intermetallic compounds, high-permeability ferrites, (nano-)crystalline and amorphous alloys. 3. High-quality magnetic materials with outstanding properties as spin glasses, heavy-fermion compounds, perovskites, invar and shape memory alloys. 4. Thin film systems for sensor applications and high-density recording, GMR and CMR systems. 5. Micromagnetic analysis of domain patterns, domain walls and magnetization processes in thin films and small particles, development of computational micromagnetism. 6. Development of high-standard measuring techniques as NMR, Mößbauer effect, STM, MFM, Lorentz microscopy, neutron diffraction, XMCD, spin-polarized electron methods.
