| Abstract: | This report examines the current status and the future directions of the field of nanomagnetism and assesses the ability of hard X-ray synchrotron facilities to provide new capabilities for making advances in this field. The report first identifies major research challenges that lie ahead in three broadly defined subfields of nanomagnetism: confined systems, clusters and complex oxides. It then examines the relevant experimental capabilities that are currently available at hard X-ray synchrotron light sources, using the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne as an example. Finally, recommendations are made for future development in X-ray facilities that will enhance the study of nanomagnetism, including new experimental directions, modifications that would enable in situ sample preparation, and measurements at high magnetic fields and/or low temperatures. In particular, in situ sample preparation is of high priority in many experiments, especially those in the area of surface magnetism. |
