2004 University of Miami Workshop on 
Unconventional Superconductivity

(January 11-16, 2004)

Following three successful meetings on High Temperature Superconductivity in January 1991, 1995 and 1999, we have held the fourth meeting in the series at the University of Miami Physics Department. This meeting turned out to be very successful, and consisted of two consecutive events:

1. NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on New Challenges in Superconductivity: Experimental Advances and Emerging Theories

It was held on January 11-14, 2004,  and addressed physical properties, microscopic theory and mechanisms for high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates, as well as related topics on other unconventional superconductors (SC's). Such SC's included fullerines,  ruthenates,  borocarbides,  intercalated chloronitrides,  MgB2,  NaxCoO2•yH2O,  ferromagnetic,  organic,  and heavy-fermion SC's,  SC nanoparticles,  etc.  The central goal of this ARW was to provide a forum for engaging researchers in a focused dialog directed at exploring and distilling the latest experimental and theoretical results in the field likely to have a significant influence on the understanding of the normal-state properties and origin of the unconventional superconductivity. Presentations included talks and posters.

2. Symposium on Emerging Mechanisms for High Temperature Superconductivity (SEMHTS)

It was held on January 15-16, 2004,  and addressed mainly experimental and theoretical results which are helpful elucidating the mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity. Presentations included talks and posters.

PROCEEDINGS

The March 31, 2004, deadline for submission of manuscripts for the proceedings, and its extensions, have passed. The proceedings is in the press and expected to be published before the end of 2004.

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Kluwers Academic Publishers B.V., as a volume in the NATO Science Series II - Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Camera-ready manuscripts should be sent to:
Prof. Josef Ashkenazi
Physics Department
University of Miami
P.O. Box 248046
Coral Gables, FL 33124
U.S.A.
Fax: +1-305-284-4222
An electronic version should be sent too, as well as the filled Copyright Transfer and Author's Data Base forms, provided during the workshop (these forms can also be downloaded and printed by clicking here).

Alternatively, the electronic version of the manuscript, and the above two forms, can be sent (as file attachments) by email to: HTS04@physics.miami.edu

The instructions for the preparation of a camera-ready manuscript can be found at the Kluwer website. Both the Latex style files (procl.exe) and the instructions in Word for proceedings are available on this site. Please choose single coulumn style for proceedings.

The maximum length for manuscripts is 6 pages for oral presentations, and 4 pages for poster presentations. A participant cannot submit more than one manuscript.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We are very thankful to all the participants, thanks to whom the workshop turned out to be very successful.

Also are acknowledged the Workshop Secretary Riquie Mathews, and the Physics Department secretaries Judy Mallery and Nancy Brady, whose assistance before, during, and after the workshop has been, and continue being very helpful.

Of course the workshop could not be organized without the essential help of the Communications Executive Marco Monti, and the Technical Executive Leonardo Rodriquez.

We are very grateful also to the Physics Department graduate students Corneliu Chiorescu, Simona Khizroev, and Hengsong Zhang, for their assistance.

And last, but not least, we acknowledge the help of the Physics Department professors George Alexandrakis (the Chairman) and Thomas Curtright, as well as their and the other professors' encouragement .
