Preface

This book on 'Spin dynamics in confined magnetic structures I' addresses the new developments in the physics associated with magnetization processes and the magnetization dynamics in confined magnetic structures. It is the first volume in a planned series on this very timely topic. It evolved from lectures delivered at the summer school on 'Mesomagnetism, spin dynamics and spin electronics' organized by K. Ounadjela and D. Niarchos at Rhodes (Greece) in September 1999 under the framework of the Training and Mobility of Young Researcher (TMR) network 'High Frequency Dynamics of Mesomagnetic Systems', flmded by the European Commission (FMRX-CT97-0124).
