It is our pleasure to announce the 9th series of Lectures on Nanoscale and Mesoscopic Systems, which we will have at Yonsei University during December 8-9, 2003. The topics of our lectures this time, "spin transport and spintronics," are closely related to the main theme of The Third International Conference on Advanced Materials and Devices (ICAMD '03), which will be held in Jeju Island right after our lecture meeting (December 10-12). In fact, the three lecturers of our meeting are also the invited speakers of ICAMD '03. They are all well-known experts in this field of much heightened recent interest and extensive research effort. Although the topic of the spin-dependent transport was already covered in the 6th lecture series in May, 2002, the organizing members believe this will be the golden opportunity to learn more in-depth and updated information from the experts in the field. We are confident that the lectures will be highly beneficial to all the participants.
