news ! (March 15, 2004) Please see the web pages of the forthcoming NATO ARW:VORTEX 2004 at http://galaxy.fzu.cz/Vortex2004. Registration and on-line abstracts submission are open.

Welcome !

The purpose of the workshop is to establish the links between the regional scientists of superconductivity and the international scientific community, by giving an opportunity to exchange the results. The workshop is of advanced level and is concentrated on the new investigations of vortex dynamics in high temperature superconductors. The discussed topics of the Workshop can be of interest for specialists working in these fields as well as for young scientists, who plan to advance the understanding of vortex dynamics.

The main topics:

• Magnetic flux penetration
• Surface barriers
• Flux jumps and Flux creep
• Thermomagnetic instability
• Pinning centers
• Vortex State in the Framework of Ginzburg-Landau Theory
• Superconducting Electronic Devices
• Critical Currents and Vortex Dynamics
• Josephson Media and SQUID Arrays
• Magnetization and Vortex Transport

We are looking forward to have a great discussions in Tashkent.
