This book is a text on novel nanocrystalline alloys and magnetic nanomaterials arising out of presentations given at the fourth Oxford–Kobe Materials Seminar, held at the Kobe Institute on 11–14 September 2001.
The Kobe Institute is an independent non profit-making organization. It was established by donations from Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture and more than 100 companies all over Japan. It is based in Kobe City, Japan, and is operated in collaboration with St Catherine’s College, Oxford University, UK. The Chairman of the Kobe Institute Committee in the UK is Roger Ainsworth, Master of St Catherine’s College; the Director of the Kobe Institute Board is Dr Yasutomi Nishizuka; the Academic Director is Dr Helen Mardon, Oxford University; and the Bursar is Dr Kaizaburo Saito. The Kobe Institute was established with the objectives of promoting the pursuit of education and research that furthers mutual understanding between Japan and other nations, and to contribute to collaboration and exchange between academics and industrial partners.
The Oxford–Kobe Seminars are research workshops which aim to promote inteational academic exchanges between the UK/Europe and Japan. A key feature of the seminars is to provide a world-class forum focused on strengthening connections between academics and industry in both Japan and the UK/Europe, and fostering collaborative research on timely problems of mutual interest.
The fourth Oxford–Kobe Materials Seminar was on nanomaterials, concentrating on developments in science and technology over the next ten years. The co-chairs of the Seminar were Professor Akihisa Inoue of Tohoku University, Dr Yoshihito Yoshizawa of Hitachi Metals, Professor Brian Cantor of York University, Dr Paul Warren of Oxford University and Dr Kaizaburo Saito of the Kobe Institute. The Seminar Coordinator was Ms Pippa Gordon of Oxford University. The Seminar was sponsored by the Kobe Institute, St Catherine’s College and the Oxford Centre for Advanced Materials and Composites. Following the Seminar itself, all of the speakers prepared extended manuscripts in order to compile a text suitable for graduates and for researchers entering the field. The contributions are compiled into three sections: nanocrystalline alloys, novel nanomaterials, and magnetic nanomaterials.
The first, second and third Oxford–Kobe Materials Seminars were on aerospace materials in September 1998, solidification and casting in September 1999, and metal and ceramic composites in September 2000. The corresponding texts have already been published in the Institute of Physics Publishing Series in Materials Science and Engineering. The fifth, sixth and seventh Oxford–Kobe Materials Seminars were on automotive materials in September 2002, magnetic materials in September 2003 and spintronic materials in September 2004 respectively. The corresponding texts are currently in press in the Institute of Physics Publishing Series in Materials Science and Engineering.
