SUMMARY:Superconductivity in nanograins: smaller is different - Antonio M.
  Garcia-Garcia\, Cavendish Laboratory
DTSTART:20110526T131500Z
DTEND:20110526T141500Z
UID:TALK31183@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr G Moller
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of the talk I introduce the physics of super
 conducting nanograins: theories\, experiments\, their limitations\nand why
  we are still far from a good understanding of this problem.\nThen I will 
 persuade the audience that there are reasons to be\noptimistic about the f
 uture of this field: recent developments make\npossible for the first time
  an accurate comparison between theory and experiments. This is paving the
  way to exploit quantum size effects in boosting superconductivity in nano
 grains.\nFinally I investigate the conditions under which finite size effe
 cts\ncan enhance substantially the critical temperature of iron-based\nsup
 erconductors.
