Abstract

The role of phase separation and superstripes in high temperature superconductors and related materials has been discussed at the meeting in Erice, Italy, July 11–17, 2012. The focus was on the point where we are after 25 years of research on the key role of complex structural, electronic, and magnetic matter in the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity.
