This workshop is designed to bring together experts working on the specific influence of inhomogeneities and defects on the properties of correlated electron materials. Participants should be researchers concerned with such problems from the fields of high-Tc superconductivity, dilute magnetic semiconductors, manganites, heavy fermions, organics, or related materials, which have in common the existence of inhomogeneities in electronic structure at the meso- or nanoscale, possibly ``intrinsic'' to the materials in question.
We hope to discuss ideas and approaches from these disparate fields related to electronic inhomogeneity. The goal is to promote a serious conversation about possible common origins of charge and orbital ordering, local phase separation, fluctuating vs. static order, and coexistence vs. competition of magnetism/superconductivity with each other, as well as with more exotic ordered states. Our intention is to leave maximal amount of time for discussion so that we can get to the heart of problems common to the various subfields.
