U.S.-Hungary Research on Polymers and Disordered Materials

波士顿大学的尤金·斯坦利博士和匈牙利科学院技术物理研究所的亚诺斯·克特兹博士合作开展的这项美国-匈牙利合作研究项目的主要目标是研究随机介质的基本特性。研究人员打算提高我们对传输的基本物理定律的理解，因为它们在具有宏观异质性的介质中被修改。努力将集中于由不同类型的无序产生的输运现象，包括随机替代（渗透）无序和空间相关无序。结果应该提供更多关于普适性原理和与这种动力学现象相关的概率分布的信息。这个凝聚态理论项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和东欧的领先专家能够在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的人才和集中研究资源。

The primary objective of this U.S.-Hungary cooperative research project between Dr. Eugene Stanley of Boston University and Dr. Janos Kertesz of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences' Research Institute for Technical Physics is to examine the fundamental properties of random media. The reseachers' intend improve our understanding of the basic physical laws of transport as they are modified in media possessing macroscopic heterogentics.Efforts will focus on transport phenomena that arise from different types of disorder, including random substitutional (percolation) disorder and spatially correlated disorder. Results should provide more information on principles of universality and on probability distributions associated with such kinetic phenomena. This project in condensed matter theory fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United states and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
