Topical Group on Magnetism and its Applications
The American Physical Society Topical Group on Magnetism and its Applications, or GMAG, represents one of the fastest-growing scientific sectors of the APS. At the 2007 APS March Meeting over 865 (14%) of the submitted abstracts were associated with magnetism.
Membership in GMAG — an annual investment of only $7 for APS members — not only helps you keep up with the fast-paced field of Magnetism but also provides the following features:
