Abstract
This volume contains the proceedings of the 14th General Conference of the Condensed Matter Division, GCCMD-14, held on 28–31 March 1994, at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Polytechnical University of Madrid. The publication contains the Plenary and Invited Lectures of those authors who agreed to publish their presentations. The meeting was organized by the Spanish Vacuum Society, ASEVA, under the auspices of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society, CMD-EPS.
The Conference was attended by 466 participants mostly from Europe. The emphasis of the Conference was mainly on:
Semiconductors and Insulators
Surfaces and Interfaces
Liquids and Statistical Mechanics
Magnetism and Metals
Macromolecules and Chemical Physics
The 554 contributions were presented as 6 plenary lectures, 67 invited lectures, 140 oral presentation and 341 poster presentation, in five parallel sessions.
The guest Editors are grateful to those authors who sent their contribution for the publication, to the Organizing Committee, to the International Advisory and Programme Committee and to the Local Committee for their excellent work.
We also wish to thank those colleagues who took on the hard task of helping in refereeing the papers. It is also a pleasure to thank the Physica Scripta Editor and Editorial Board of Physica Scripta.
