Superconductivity
June 7-12, 2009
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Hong Kong, China
Chair:
Fuchun Zhang

Vice Chair:
Ali Yazdani

Welcome to the 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Superconductivity in Hong Kong. This will be the first Gordon Conference on Superconductivity held in Asia. It will be an international forum for discussion of experimental and theoretical advances in superconductivity in high Tc cuprates, high Tc iron pnictides, and other new or interesting superconducting materials such as ruthenates, heavy fermion materials and layered organic conductors. The conference will focus on the properties and materials aspects of superconductivity, such as phase diagrams, electronic structure and spectroscopic properties, to mention just a few. Recent proposal of topological aspects in superconductivity will also be discussed. The Conference will bring together a collection of researchers who are at the forefront of their field, and will strongly encourage speakers to emphasize the new and unpublished work and encourage participation of young scientists at the graduate or postdoctoral level through presentations, focused discussions with invited speakers, and poster sessions. The organizers encourage those from groups underrepresented in science and engineering to attend and funding has been earmarked for members of these groups.
