Foreword
IWCC11-2003 is
the eleventh of a series of workshops on flux pinning and critical currents in
superconductors, the first of which was organized in 1974.
IWCC focuses on fundamental aspects of flux
pinning, critical currents, pinning centers in both high and low temperature
superconductors. The format is quite
different from a regular workshop in emphasizing extensive discussions of the
participants. The schedule will consist
of invited lectures, oral presentations and poster presentations.
Topics
(1)
Flux pinning and pinning mechanism
(2)
Flux creep and flux dynamics
(3)
Microstructure
(4)
Critical currents
(5)
Bulk Materials
(6) Conductors
Venue
The
conference will be held at College of Humanities and
Sciences, Nihon University situated in the
center of Tokyo.
Many economic hotels as well as luxurious ones are located near the
University.
Call for
Abstracts and Papers
The workshop
will consist of both oral and poster presentations. Conference proceedings will be
