Resumen:
This volume contains selected papers which have been presented at
the XIX Latin American Symposium on Solid State Physics (SLAFES XIX)
held at Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, from 5--10 October 2008. The
conference, covering all areas of Solid State Physics, is one of the
most important and traditional meetings in Physics in our region. The
Latin American Symposium on Solid State Physics is a forum where
researchers and students from Latin America as well as leading
scientists from other parts of the world get together to exchange
information, strengthen collaborations and identify new challenges in
Solid State Physics. This successful series of meetings has been
organised in eight different countries, the last three held in Mérida,
Venezuela (2002), La Habana, Cuba (2004) and Puebla, México (2006).
Following the trends of previous events, SLAFES XIX included seven
plenary talks, eighteen invited talks and contributions, and 28 oral
and 255 poster presentations, covering mostly the latest experimental
and theoretical advances in Nanophysics, Nanomaterials and
Nanotechnology, Spintronics, Magnetism, New Materials,
Superconductivity, Surfaces and Interfaces, Low-Dimensional Systems,
Materials Preparation and Characterization, Theory and Computing
Simulations of Materials among other topics.
The group of
scientists participating had come from Argentina, Chile, Colombia,
Cuba, Brazil, France, Spain, Switzerland and the USA We are indebted to
