Workshop on Magnetic Information Technology (MINT)

Questions addressed at the workshop are listed, including: (1) What are the Magnetic Information Technology (MINT) research needs in such areas as electronics, materials, surface science, magnetic phenomena and devices, aerodynamic aspects of magnetic systems, signal processing, and tribology as it bears on magnetics, (2) How should MINT research be addressed and conducted in the university environment, and (3) What are the vehicles in the university environment needed to facilitate addressing MINT issues. The MINT research is outlined. The need for research in the following areas is identified: magneto-optic recording, magnetic bubbles, particulate material recording, and thin film media.
