"Open questions in understanding the superconducting and normal state properties of MgB2"
University of Rome, La Sapienza, Italy
02 - 04 July, 2003
Supported by ESF Psi-k Programme
We would like to remind you about the conference "Open questions in understanding the superconducting and normal state properties of MgB2", to be held at the University Rome, La Sapienza, Italy, 02 - 04 July 2003. The aim of this meeting is to give an overview of the current knowledge of MgB2 and to define new theoretical avenues for overcoming the limitations in our theoretical understanding. The emphasis will be given to the issues still representing challenges to the currently accepted theoretical models, including, but not limited to the following:
Effect of impurity scattering Effects of various dopings Normal state transport Role of electron-two phonon coupling Nonadiabatic effects
There will be about 25 invited talks, and a limited number of contributed talks and poster presentations selected by the organizers based on the submitted abstracts.
