List of Past Seminars

特別CMSMセミナー - Special CMSM Seminar -

このセミナーは1995年に"Nanostructured Materials Seminar"として第1回が開催されて以来、外部講師を招いて300回以上開催されてきました。現在は"Special CMSM Seminar"の名称で不定期に行われています。
("CMSM"とは"Research Center for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials"の頭文字をとった略称です。)

This seminar series started in 1995 as "Nanostructured Materials Seminar", and more than 200 seminars were given by the visitors to the Research Center for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials (formely Magnetic Materials Unit, Magnetic Materials Center, Metallic Nanostructure Group). The seminar series has been renamed as "Special CMSM Seminar" ("CMSM" is the abbreviation for "Research Center for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials".). Seminar is held unperiodically, when we have visitors from outside NIMS.
