Workshops & Schools - Overview
Superconductivity and magnetism at the nanoscale
Speaker: See program
Date & Time: June 30 - July 3, 2014
Location: Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart
Local Contact: Dr. Hans-Georg Libuda
Intended Audience: Graduate
The International Max Planck Research School for Condensed Matter Science (IMPRS-CMS) will organize a Summer School in Stuttgart
Scope of the Summer School:
Superconductivity and magnetism are often seen as incompatible phenomena as magnetism easily destroys superconductivity. However, in some instances a coexistence with intriguing properties may ensue when, for example, the dimensions of the superconductor are reduced or the magnetic moments are very localized. Both superconductivity and magnetism are fascinating subjects on their own and they are far from being understood. In combination, they have revealed an even stranger world of effects, of which it seems that we have only scratched the surface so far. This summer school will cover the topics superconductivity and magnetism as well as the combination of the two, how they can coexist in materials and how they interact to produce new particles, such as the Majorana fermion.
Preliminary Program and Organization:
• Superconductivity
• Magnetism
• Combination of Superconductivity and Magnetism
• New Materials/new effects/visions for the future
