International Workshop
Correlated Electron Systems in High Magnetic Fields

October 13 - 17, 2008

Scientific coordinators:

Victor Fleurov (Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel)
Victor Kagalovsky (Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, Beer Sheva, Israel)
Boris Spivak (University of Washington, Seattle, USA)
Jochen Wosnitza (Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany)

Organisation:

Claudia Poenisch (MPI für Physik komplexer Systeme, Dresden, Germany)

The aim of the workshop is to foster exchange of ideas between theoreticians and experimentalists using high magnetic fields as a tool for investigating the electronic and magnetic properties of strongly correlated electron systems (SCES) both in three-dimensional and low-dimensional systems. Among the subjects to be covered are the quantum Hall effect, superconductivity, quantum criticality in SCES, low-dimensional magnetism, nanophysics, spintronics and other hot topics. Among the participants there are leading experts from high magnetic field facilities collaborating within EuroMagNET and other key experimental labs as well as theoreticians active in the studies of SCES under extreme conditions.

We plan to organize two plenary talks summarizing key topics in experiment and theory, regular talks (about 40 lectures), 2 poster sessions and a panel session. The latter will summarize the role of very high magnetic field studies in the progress of SCES physics. Besides we plan to use this occasion to commemorate the late Israel Vagner who was the leader of the theory group within EuroMagNET.
