Precision x-ray diffraction investigations of single crystals of HTSCs: Report on the 4th International Conference 'Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity of High-Temperature Superconductors' (July 1994, Grenoble, France)

摘要

The time lapse between the third conference in Japan and the fourth conference in France was extended to three years. This had its effect on the overloaded scientific program of the conference in Grenoble. The organising committee selected 120 reports and over 2000 posters. In each of the four poster sessions from 536 to 583 posters were presented. Clearly, each participant could only have taken in a small portion of this mass of information. Below an attempt is made (naturally a subjective one) to highlight the most interesting work in the field of structural investigations of HTSC crystals.
