Scope 

Over the past two decades, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted considerable scientific, clinical and industrial interest due to their unique magnetic properties and their ability to be chemically functionalized for interaction with biological, chemical and technological systems. Under alternating magnetic fields, these nanomaterials exhibit distinctive dynamical magnetization responses that set them apart from other nanoscale systems. In such conditions, their magnetization dynamics underpin key phenomena—including AC field-induced heating, field-driven relaxation, and enhanced surface interactions—that enable a wide range of emerging applications. Understanding these dynamical responses is essential for optimizing magnetic losses, improving magnetic transduction strategies, and advancing applications in imaging, sensing and energy conversion. 

This workshop focuses on the following topics: 

• Synthesis, functionalization, bioconjugation, and surface engineering of magnetic nanomaterials for exploiting dynamical magnetization phenomena.

• Magnetic nanomaterials for magnetic particle imaging. 

• Magnetic nanomaterials for magnetic losses applications: magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment, catalysis, environmental applications, among others.  

• Magnetic nanomaterials for Sensing: transducing biomolecular specific recognition, chemical trapping and transformation, gas trapping, chemical, electrostatic interactions, protein conformation changes, among others.

• In silico testing: computer modelling of nanomaterial dynamical magnetization phenomena for applications in medicine and biology. 

• Metrology and standardisation of dynamical magnetization phenomena in magnetic nanomaterials.
