Special MMU Seminar
This seminar series started in 1995 as "Nanostructured Materials Seminar", and more than 160 seminars were given by the visitors to the Magnetic Materials Unit (formely Metallic Nanostructure Group). The seminar series has been renamed as "Special MMC Seminar". Seminar is held unperiodically, when we have visitors from outside NIMS.
