ANNOUNCEMENT

NATO ADVANCED RESEARCH WORKSHOP 16-20 SEPTEMBER, 2001 ,YALTA , UKRAINE

NEW TRENDS IN SUPERCONDUCTIVITY (NTS-2001 )

(http://www.i.com.ua/~nts)

CO-DIRECTORS:
James Annett (University of Bristol, United Kingdom )
Sergei Kruchinin (Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics, Ukraine)

INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE :
R.Laughlin (Stanford, USA)
I.Yanson (Kharkov, Ukraine)

ARW is supported by NATO.

Co-sponsor is Ministry of Ukraine for Education and Science.

The main objective of this Advanced Research Workshop is to address the key topics in superconductivity research which are emerging at the opening of the new millennium. These topics include novel superconducting materials, such as MgB2, new materials with exotic pairing symmetry, such as ruthenates, and the possible mechanisms of high Tc cuprate superconductivity, such as magnetic fluctuations polarons or stripes. Also of interest are novel possible applications of superconductivity, such as phase or charge coherent devices for quantum computing. Vortex matter physics is also of great current interest. This workshop will bring together experts in all of these fields of superconductivity, with plenty of time for in-depth discussions of these topics.

Time and Location
The ARW will be held from 16-20 September, 2001 at the Oreanda Hotel (four star) in Yalta (Crimea, Ukraine). Yalta is a world-famous health resort and the cetre of a large resort area stretchening for more than 70 km along the southern coast of the Crimea.

All partipants of the ARW will be accommodated in the hotel. There is anauditorium seating 150, which is fitted with modern acoustic equipment. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served for all participants. At the hotel there is an indoor swimming pool with heated sea water. Participants may travel to the ARW from Kiev international airport.
A group ticket at reduced cost will be arranged on scheduled flights between Kiev and Simferopol and on buses Simferopol - Yalta.

Applications

The ARW will be open to approximately 100 participants.
There is no conference registration fee. Participants are normally
expected to cover their own travel and living expenses.
Applicants may apply for financial assistance in case of
special need.
