On Superconductivity and Superfluidity
  • 2651 Accesses

In October 2004 and October 2006, the conferences devoted to superconductivity and, in the first place, high-temperature superconductivity (the latter is reflected by the conference name “The Fundamental Problems of High-Temperature Superconductivity”) were held near Moscow. These conferences began on 18 October 2004 and 9 October 2006, respectively, and were opened with my comments on the problems discussed. These comments underline the contents of Parts I and II below
