One day international research workshop on
Super-toroidal Electrodynamics
Held 5 November 2004 at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Southampton. For details, see flyer (pdf).
The proceedings are now available online: pdf.
The aim of the workshop is to initiate an interdisciplinary discussion in the exciting emerging field of Super-toroidal Electrodynamics. The workshop will involve leading international experts currently active in the field. Invited presentations will be followed by a discussion of "What could be the crucial experiments in the field of super-toroidal electrodynamics?"
The invited talks at the workshop have been:
- "Electromagnetic toroidal sources and their applications" by Georgii Afanasiev, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia
- "Topological Invariants in Molecular networks, and their current-like observables" by Aurnout Ceulemans, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium
- "Toroidal moments and atomic emission in condensed media" by Eugene Tkalya, Nuclear Research Institute, Moscow state University, Russia
- "Toroidal moments in spin-ordered crystals" by Hans Schmid, University of Geneva, Switzerland
- "Toroidal electrodynamics and solid state physics" by Mikhail Martsenyuk, Perm State University, Russia
- "From the detection of the magnetic component of optical near-fields to nano-torus plasmons carrying a magnetic dipole moment at optical frequencies" by Alain Dereux, University of Bourgogne, France
