International Symposium on Physics and Chemistry of Novel Superconductors and Related Materials
The International Symposium on Physics and Chemistry of Novel Superconductors
and Related Materials will be held during October 1 - 3, 2012, at Okayama
University. The purpose of this gathering is to provide a forum for discussing
the recent progress in researches on various novel superconductors and
related materials. The symposium will cover a wide variety of superconductors
such as light-element superconductors ( C60, hydrocarbon, graphite and diamond), iron-based superconductors, copper-oxide
superconductors and heavy Fermion systems. Furthermore, the interface superconductors
and field-induced superconductivity will also be the center of topics in
this conference.
Date : 1 - 3 October 2012
