Research Oriented Workshops on Condensed Matter Physics at ICCMP-Brasilia, Brazil, September, 1990

该奖项支持将于1990年9月在巴西首都巴西利亚举行的凝聚态物理国际研讨会。美国的组织者是田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校的杰拉尔德·D·马汉。他的同行是位于巴西利亚大学的国际凝聚态物理中心的阿尔瓦罗·费拉兹。这是在巴西利亚定期举办的关于当前专题的一系列讲习班之一。这些课程包括固体理论、统计物理、电子传输、计算方法以及固体和表面的光谱。讲习班将在ICMP新大楼内举行，大楼内设有图书馆、计算机、礼堂、研讨会房间和办公室。有大量的物理学藏书，包括重要的国际期刊。巴西物理学家现在正在购买大型计算机。因此，举办数值方法研讨会恰逢其时。这将包括能带结构、分子动力学和蒙特卡罗方法的计算。在这次研讨会之后，12月份将举行关于固体和表面的光谱学方法的最后一次研讨会。这些研讨会吸引了来自南美洲各地的参与者，为彼此以及与美国科学家的互动提供了最大的机会。

This award supports an international workshop on condensed matter physics to be held in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, during September 1990. The U.S. organizer is Gerald D. Mahan of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. His counterpart is Alvaro Ferraz at the International Center for Condensed Matter Physics (ICCMP) located at the University of Brasilia. This is one of a series of workshops on current topics held regularly in Brasilia. These include theory of solids, statistical physics, electron transport, computational methods and spectroscopy of solids and surfaces. The workshop will be held in the new building of ICCMP which houses a library, computer, auditorium and seminar rooms as well as offices. There is a large physics collection including important international journals. Brazilian physicists are now acquiring large computers. For this reason it is timely to hold the workshop on numerical methods. This will cover calculations of band structure, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. Following this one there will be a final workshop in December on spectrograpphic methods for solids and surfaces. These workshops draw attendance from throughout South America offering maximum opportunity for interaction with each other and with U.S. scientists.
