COST-TMR-CCP9 Workshop
Mesoscopic Superconductors and Hybrid Structures
Lancaster University, 17-19 December 1999 - Conference Centre
|
This meeting aims to discuss the on-going research in
equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of small superconductors,
including superconductor-normal and superconductor-ferromagnetic
mesoscopic junctions. This workshop is a joint effort of
the EU collaboration programs COST P5 Action on 'Mesoscopic
Electronic' (WG - Mesoscopic Superconductivity),
TMR Network on 'Phase Coherent Dynamics of Hybrid Nanostructures'
and EPSRC-UK Collaborative Computational Project CCP9.
