11:00-11:30 Coffee break11:30 General Discussion:Session Chair: Prof. Teresa Puig, ICMAB-CSIC
Are the pinning centers of high temperature effective at low temperature?
What determines de irreversibility line?
What similarities can be gathered between CSD and PLD regarding vortex pinning?
Do we have isotropic strain in PLD nanocomposites at low temperature like in CSD?
What are the consequences of strain in the electronic density of state?
How can we measure the consequences of strain on the DOS or quasiparticles behavior?
Can microwave measurements answer some questions regarding the quasiparticles nature in strained regions?

Hi! My name is Candy Fu. I come from Wuhan, China. At this moment , I felt lucky and excited to commence my Ph.D study at ICMAB, a tremendously developed platform. I’ve joined in the group of Superconducting Materials and Nanostructure at Large Scale under the supervision of Narcis Mestres. I am fond of dancing, running, and travelling.
The 2015 E-MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit will was held in Warsaw University of Technology, from September 15 to 18 2015
Narcis Mestres presented a contributed oral presentation:
“Confined Sol-Gel route to epitaxial integration of ferromagnetic nanowires on Silicon”
In two different Symposia
Simposium O: Alternative semiconductor integration in Si microelectronics: materials, techniques & applications
Symposium L: Towards Oxide-Based Electronics: growth and applications of oxide thin films and heterostructures
The 12th European Conference on Applied Superconductivity EUCAS 2015 will be held from the 6th to the 10th of September 2015
