PROGRESS IN HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY – serie

This proceedings contains the works of both experimental and theoretical aspects of high temperature superconductivity with special emphasis on the results obtained by nuclear methods (e.g. neutron scattering, μSR, positron annihilation and Mössbauer spectroscopy).

This Conference is designed to cover the entire field of current-carrying properties of superconductors, either metallic alloys or the new high-Tc metallic oxides. Related topics will be treated as well as the large scale applications. Topics covered include magnetization and flux behaviour, current transport and critical currents, Josephson junctions and proximity effect, microwave absorption and rf surface resistance, thermal conductivity and specific heat, Hall effect and thermoelectric power, thermal fluctuations and paraconductivity, applications of high-Tc materials.

This Proceedings is dedicated to the topic of high temperature superconductors. It consists of invited talks by experts on the current status and development of ceramic superconductors.

The subject of the School is on the theory and phenomenology of "classical" superconductivity. However, the selection and treatment of the different topics is done in the perspective of the new, "high Tc'' materials, in order to clarify what is already contained in the BCS frame, and what is not.

This is the second in a series of miniworkshops and Adriatico conferences devoted to the exciting field of strongly correlated electron systems including quantum Hall effect, metal insulator transition, heavy fermions and high Tc superconductivity. In spite of enormous efforts made by physicists worldwide to solve these difficult problems, many important issues are still widely open and this topic remains the most active field in condensed matter physics. The review talks and reports on original research given by the experts in the field represent a state-of-the-art summary of this fast-moving field.

This volume will focus on the theory and experiments leading to quantitative understanding of the magnetic field and temperature dependence of critical current densities in high-temperature superconductors. Topics will include: critical currents and flux-pinning, flux flow and flux creep, anisotropy of critical fields and currents, properties of the flux lattice and the irreversibility line, magnetization, granularity.

This volume consists of nine invited talks on the main subject of ceramic superconductors and other topics on organic superconductors and tunneling microscopy.

In spite of enormous efforts made jointly by condensed matter physicists all over the world and the significant progress achieved so far in strongly correlated electrons systems, many important issues still remain open. This conference and workshop were mainly dedicated to these open questions. Several outstanding experimentalists were invited to give review talks should serve as an up-to-date reference volume in this fast-moving field.

This volume is devoted to the theoretical and experimental aspects of the physics and chemistry of high temperature superconductivity and localization effects in normal, superconducting and magnetic metals. The main topics include localization phenomena, fluctuational effects on superconductors, Josephson junctions and applications, spectroscopy of HTSC, theory of HTSC, transport and magnetic properties of HTSC, chemistry and technology.

This Workshop addresses the role of magnetic interactions in the various aspects of high Tc superconducting materials, including the fundamental nature of the elementary excitations and their effect on the measured microscopic and macroscopic magnetic properties of these materials. Applications involving the magnetic behaviour of high Tc superconductors is a special feature of this Workshop.
