Objectives

The school will consist of a pedagogic introduction and talks about recent problems related with magnetism and superconductivity in f-electron compounds and related systems.
We will try to transmit an overview of the field and treat the differences and common points found with other Strongly Correlated Electron Systems.
Our aim is to provide a broad forum of discussion of recent problems in the field, in a way accessible and useful to young students, as well as to stimulate discussions amoung theoreticians and experimentalists.

Participants

This International Summer School is primarly addressed to young physicists from the fields of Condensed Matter, including Magnetism, Superconductivity, Materials Science and other main fields of Low Temperature Physics. The maximum number of participants is 80, including about 20 invited lecturers, international experts in each matter. Some scholarships will be provided for students (covering full board and lodging at the Residence) their number depending on the financial support finally obtained.

Program

Magnetism

Kondo effect and magnetism in f-electron compounds and related materials: Introduction and recent advances
Quatum Magnetism
Non Fermi Liquid problem
Superconductivity
Interaction between magnetism and superconductivity in Strongly  Correlated Electron Systems
Superconductivity under magnetic fields: vortices and new phases
Order parameter symmetry
We will also discuss the possibilities offered by some experimental techniques such as tunnel and point contact spectroscopy, neutrons and synchroton radiation, and high pressures to study the ground state properties of  Correlated Electrons.
