The theme of AVS 69 is “Two is better than one: breaking barriers with coupled phenomena”. Coupled phenomena are the foundation of the field of magnetism, which is the combination and interplay of fundamental atomic and many-body interactions. For this reason, one entire session of the MIND program will be dedicated to demonstrating how the interplay of the exchange interaction and spin-orbit coupling can be used to control and manipulate spin and magnetism on the nanoscale. With the recent emergence of 2D magnetism also comes increased interest of how to couple magnetism with superconductivity. This field has become very active and for this reason, will be featured with two sessions on this subject. Finally, a special symposium will address the interaction of light and spin, i.e., the ability to control spin phenomena using light.
