9528578 Fisher Dr. Matthew P. A. Fisher of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, is the 20th recipient of the Alan T. Waterman award. Fisher will receive $500,000 in research support over three years as part of this award. The Alan T. Waterman Award Committee overviewed the recommendation process after receiving 96 nominations. The National Science Board unanimously agreed to present the award to this theoretical physicist. The National Science Foundation presents this annual award to a promising scientist, no more than 35 years of age or within five years of receiving his/her Ph.D., who is judged to be in the forefront of his/her field. The committee recognized Fisher for his pioneering contributions to the theory of disordered superconductors. He is an outstanding condensed matter theorist who predicted a new state of superconductive matter, the "vortex glass" phase. This novel prediction was compellingly confirmed by experiment shortly afterwards. The work of Fisher in this area has had a major impact on the field of high-temperature superconductivity. He also developed a theory to describe how superconductivity is destroyed with increasing disorder, predicting that the material would pass directly into an insulating phase as disorder increases. In other work, he developed a theory of quantum transport for one-dimensional metals, enabling the first definitive experimental search for this new metallic phase. Fisher has emerged as a leader among his generation of condensed matter theorists. His creativity, originality, and leadership ability set him apart in this field and have inspired both experimental and theoretical progress. The award is the most prestigious honor of the National Science Foundation for young researchers. *** Report on the 1995 Alan T. Waterman Award recipient Dr. Matthew P.A. Fisher Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara DATE: 7/18/95 PROPOSAL: DMR-9528578 Dr. Matthew P. A. Fisher of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, is the 20th recipient of the Alan T. Waterman award. The National Science Foundation presents this annual award to a promising scientist, no more than 35 years of age or within five years of receiving his/her Ph.D., who is judged to be in the forefront of his/her field. Fisher will receive $500,000 in research support over three years as part of this award. The Alan T. Waterman Award Committee (see following list of names) overviewed the recommendation process after receiving 96 nominations in response to a September 1, 1994 Dear Colleague letter. The National Science Board unanimously agreed to present the award to this theoretical physicist at its March 20, 1995 Executive Closed Session Meeting following a report by Dr. Neal F. Lane, Director and Chair of the Executive Committee, on behalf of the committee. Dr. Lane and Dr. Frank Rhodes (Chairman of the National Science Board) notified Fisher of the award by letter on April 6, 1995. The committee recognized Fisher for his pioneering contributions to the theory of disopdered superconductors. He is an outstanding condensed matter theorist who predicted a new state of superconductive matter, the "vortex glass" phase. This novel prediction was compellingly confirmed by experiment shortly afterwards. The work of Fisher in this area has had a major impact on the field of high-temperature superconductivity.

Fisher has emerged as a leader among his generation of condensed matter theo rists. His creativity, originality, and leadership ability set him apart in this field and have inspired both experimental and theoretical progress.

A.位于圣巴巴拉的加州大学理论物理研究所的费舍尔是第20位获得艾伦·T.沃特曼奖作为该奖项的一部分，费舍尔将在三年内获得50万美元的研究支持。艾伦·T沃特曼奖委员会在收到96项提名后审查了推荐过程。国家科学委员会一致同意将该奖项授予这位理论物理学家。美国国家科学基金会每年向一位有前途的科学家颁发这个奖项，年龄不超过35岁，或者在获得博士学位的五年内，他被认为是在他/她的领域的最前沿。委员会认可费舍尔对无序超导体理论的开创性贡献。他是一位杰出的凝聚态理论家，预言了一种新的物质状态，即“涡旋玻璃”相。这个新的预言很快就被实验所证实。费舍尔在这一领域的工作对高温超导领域产生了重大影响。他还发展了一种理论来描述超导性如何随着无序度的增加而被破坏，预测随着无序度的增加，材料将直接进入绝缘相。在其他工作中，他发展了一维金属的量子输运理论，从而首次对这种新金属相进行了明确的实验研究。费舍尔已经成为他那一代凝聚态理论家的领袖。他的创造力、独创性和领导能力使他在这一领域脱颖而出，并激发了实验和理论的进步。该奖项是美国国家科学基金会授予年轻研究人员的最负盛名的荣誉。* 1995年Alan T.沃特曼奖获得者Matthew P.A.博士圣巴巴拉加州大学Fisher理论物理研究所日期：1995年7月18日提案：DMR-9528578 Matthew P.
