Final Remarks Adriana Moreo

Highlights Main object of workshop fulfilled: –bring together experts in different materials to develop a common language and a set of basic ideas and concepts. Commonalities: –inhomogeneous patterns in many oxides and in DMS’s at low x; –simultaneous influence of lattice, charge, spin and orbital interactions as well as quenched disorder; –self-organization. New directions: multiferroics; –functionalities related with heterostructures involving complex oxides; –transport in correlated systems, etc.

Next Meeting Possible Dates: Summer 2008 or Possible sites: –Proposed: Switzerland: Ming Shi, Joël Mesot Sardinia, Italy: Paolo Radaelli –Additional possibilities: England? Germany? Spain, Hungary, Poland, Greece? –If you want to volunteer to organize the next meeting contact Martine Hennion, Fernande Moussa, Adriana Moreo or Georgios Papavassiliou.
