Sixth Latin American Symposium on Surface Physics, Thin Films and Small Particles; Cuzco, Peru, Sept. 2-8, 1990

该奖项支持凝聚态物理三个领域的国际研讨会：表面、薄膜和小颗粒。美国的组织者是蒙大拿州立大学的阿道夫·埃古鲁兹和施乐公司的费尔南多·庞塞，另外还有来自美国以外的五个国家的组织者：墨西哥、德国、哥伦比亚和巴西。秘鲁的组织者来自利马和库斯科：M. Horn、V. Latorre、E. Lopez-Carranza和E. Gil。此外，还有一个国际咨询委员会，其成员来自中美洲和南美洲以及美国、西班牙、法国和意大利。从总共提交的150份摘要中邀请了40份贡献，表明拉丁美洲物理学家和其他来自美国和欧洲的物理学家的广泛兴趣和参与。其中一些论文是美国和拉丁美洲正在进行的合作的成果。会议记录将由一家国际出版商出版，就像以前的研讨会一样。讲习班除海报会议外还包括口头报告。主题包括金属和半导体表面的原子和电子结构，与辐射的相互作用，物理和化学吸附，量子效应，磁性以及催化和腐蚀的应用。为了实现促进多边合作的目标，将举行一次圆桌会议，以突出讲习班的主题，对今后的研究方向提出建议，并对讲习班期间制定的合作项目作出初步安排。

This award supports an international workshop in three areas of condensed matter physics: surfaces, thin films and small particles. The U.S. organizers are Adolfo Eguiluz of Montana State University and Fernando Ponce of Xerox Corporation, along with five others from countries other than the U.S.: Mexico, Germany, Colombia and Brazil. The Peruvian organizers are from Lima and Cusco: M. Horn, V. Latorre, E. Lopez-Carranza and E. Gil. In addition, there is an International Advisory Committee with members from countries throughout Central and South America as well as from the U.S., Spain, France and Italy. Forty contributions have been invited out of a total submission of 150 abstracts indicating wide interest and participation on the part of Latin American physicists and others from the U.S. and Europe. Some of the papers are the result of ongoing U.S.-Latin American collaborations. The proceedings will be published by an international publisher as have those of previous such symposia. The workshop will consist of oral presentations in addition to poster sessions. The topics include atomic and electronic structure of metallic and semiconductor surfaces, interaction with radiation, physics, and chemisorption, quantum effects, magnetism and applications to catalysis and corrosion. In keeping with the goal of fostering mutilateral collaborations, a round-table session will be held to highlight the main themes of the workshop, make recommendations of future research directions and to organize preliminary arrangements of collaborative projects that have developed during the workshop.
