A break-through towards the realization of spintronic devices and computers
of tomorrow

Invitation to a Press Release at KTH

   Sept 22 a Monday at 3 pm
   Dept. of Materials Science, KTH,
   Brinellvägen 23 in the Coffee/Conference Room.

   It is our pleasure to inform you that a new transparent room
   temperature Ferromagnetic semiconductor with a magnetic transition
   temperature that is a world record has been discovered. 

   What does that mean? It means a dream might come true. It means a
   major step towards realization of very fast and small computers and
   electronics, based on spins of electrons. It means spintronics.

   The scientific Journal "Nature Materials" October-issue (2003)
   will publish our paper on this accomplishment.

   On Sunday 21, late in the evening, Nature Materials will give a press
   release from London.

   We will hold a press release here at KTH on Monday, Sept 22nd at 3 pm.
   
   It is on this occasion we invite your participation with friends.

   The tentative program to be finalized soon will contain:

   animation of the significance of our paper, and introduction of the
   coauthors by Prof. K.V.Rao
     * presentation by Prof. Börje Johansson
     * Comments by the Rektor
     * Comments from a high official from VINNOVA
     * Comments from Jan Nilsson, CEO of Nilsson Materials, AB
     * Question hour for the media
     * Reception.
     * Laboratory visit for those who are interested.

   You are most welcome to this memorable 'event' on Sept 22nd.
