Preface

The 2012 Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity Conference (M2S 2012) which

occurs every three years brought together world experts and young scientists to discuss open

questions in the fundamental physics and applications of superconductors and to disseminate

the latest theoretical and experimental research results in superconductors and related novel

materials This conference of 600 participants acted as a valuable training ground in this

technologically important area We focused on key unanswered questions in high-

temperature cuprate superconductors high-temperature iron-based superconductors

topological superconductors organic superconductors and heavy-electron superconductors

The discovery of new materials and novel technological applications for electronic devices

and for energy transmission and storage was emphasized There were special sessions on

superconductivity and energy and outreach sessions and an evening public lecture There

were also junior researcher symposia interspersed within the conference thus providing an

ideal environment for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to explore the

latest theoretical and experimental methods used to investigate challenging questions in the

physics of materials as it relates to both fundamental science and technological applications

These proceedings are an archival testament to the excitement in the field and provide a

valuable snapshot of the cutting-edge research of 2012 We hope this will be a valuable

resource to active researchers in the field as well as an encouraging volume to excite new

researchers to the ever-growing multifaceted field of superconductivity

We thank Bernd Lorenz and his Publications Committee for their tremendously creative and

diligent work in putting this volume together This Conference would not have been possible

without the tireless work of our Program Committee Chaired by Rick Greene and Co-

Chaired by Mike Norman Becky McDuffee our Conference Secretary deserves special

mention for her Olympian efforts And of course many thanks to all of our ~600

participants who made this entire conference such a success
