The school was held on 29th September at Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University. Four professors gave lectures on superconductivity from both experimental and theoretical points of view. Over 40 students and researchers attended the school and learned many aspects of research of superconductivity. At the Short Talk Session, several participants gave a contributed presentation on their research. Senior scientists kindly made contrastive suggestions and comments on the talks, and we very much enjoyed the discussion.
Scope
Since the discovery of superconductivity in the liquid mercury over 100 years ago, this most well-known phenomenon has been observed in many single
elements and intermetallic compounds at low temperature. About 50 years
later, in 1957, the so-called BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer) theory was
established for conventional superconductivity mediated by electron-phonon
coupling with the low transition-temperature. However, subsequently, there
appear unconventional (not ordinary s-wave) superconductors such as cuprates,
heavy fermions, iron-pnictides and so on. In these novel materials, superconductivity
arises from a correlated-electron system that is different from a conventional
Fermi liquid. Thus, the exploration of high-Tc materials in complex systems
and understanding their electronic states are exciting and challenging
issues in the materials science and physics.
The KINKEN-WAKATE shcool will provide an opportunity to learn fundamentals of superconductivity and modern aspects of research on superconductivity. Four world-famous professors on this important subject will give lectures. We expect that young students and researchers attend this shcool to learn the supercoductivity and to exchange information on their own research among participants.
