The Physics of Materials Near the Superconducting-Insulator Transition II - Homepage

Thin Films Workshop

at Brookhaven

The past few years have witnessed a number of advances and new discoveries in work related to the physics of ultra thin films near the metal insulator transition. Talks at this workshop will review some of this progress.

Date:
Thursday & Friday, January 6-7, 2005

Location:

In the Physics Department's large seminar room at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Sponsors:
Brookhaven National Laboratory

Workshop Topics:

  • Evidence for Quantum Critical Behavior
  • The Superconductor to Insulator Transition
  • Connections to Dirty Metals
  • Effects of Mesoscopic Structure on Macroscopic Properties
  • Thin Film Growth
  • The 2D Metal/Insulator Transition

Organizing Committee
