US-Mexico Collaborative Research: Theoretical Studies of Quantum Transport in Disordered Media

该奖项将支持东北大学的Jorge V.Jose教授与墨西哥国立自治大学(UNAM)的G.Monsivais教授和位于下加利福尼亚州恩塞纳达的UNAM物理研究所的E.Cota教授开展研究合作。研究人员打算研究随机非线性介质中的波传播现象。更具体地说，他们感兴趣的是非线性随机介质的传输特性，即无序和非线性所扮演的不同角色。此外，他们还将研究受含时周期势作用的随机系统的局部化性质。这项研究将在很大程度上依赖于数值模拟和分析技术的使用，双方都将贡献自己在这些领域的专业知识。通过它的潜力，增加我们对超长线输运物理的理解，拟议的工作可能导致新型量子效应电子器件的发展。

This award will support Professor Jorge V. Jose of Northeastern University in a research collaboration with Professor G. Monsivais of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) and Professor E. Cota of the Physics Institute of the UNAM at Ensenada, Baja California. The investigators intend to study the phenomena of wave propagation in a random nonlinear medium. More specifically, they are interested in the transmission properties of a nonlinear random medium in terms of the different roles played by disorder and nonlinearities. Further, they will look at the localization properties of a random system acted on by a time-dependent periodic potential. The research will rely heavily on the use of numerical simulations as well as analytic techniques with both sides contributing their expertise in these areas. Through its potential to increase our understanding of the physics of transport in ultranarrow wires, the proposed work could lead to the development of new types of quantum effect electronic devices.
