POWRE: Visiting Professorship at Harvard: Theoretical Studies in Statistical Physics

9805818 Marchetti这项研究活动涵盖了统计和凝聚态物理学的一系列主题，重点是由淬火随机性，相互作用和热波动的相互作用决定的材料特性。计划研究三个方向：通过无序驱动的周期性介质的非平衡相，其广泛目标是为描述这些非平衡系统建立一个理论框架，并绘制出它们的相图;与第二类超导体中人工钉扎结构相互作用的涡旋的性质-将讨论与实验有关的问题;线性空位和间隙缺陷在线性晶体中的作用，特别是超导体中的Abrikosov磁通线晶体。这是根据研究和教育领域女性专业机会（POWRE）计划提供的访问教授职位补助金。这项研究将在基础层面上贡献新的材料科学知识。该计划的一个重要特点是研究和教育的整合。

9805818 Marchetti This research activity spans a range of topics in statistical and condensed matter physics, focusing on materials properties that are determined by the interplay of quenched randomness, interactions, and thermal fluctuations. Three directions of inquiry are planned: nonequilibrium phases of periodic media driven through disorder, with the broad goal of developing a theoretical framework for the description of these nonequilibrium systems and mapping out their phase diagrams; properties of vortices interacting with artificial pinning structures in type-II superconductors--experimentally relevant questions will be addressed; the role of linear vacancies and interstitial defects in line crystals, particularly the Abrikosov flux-line crystal in superconductors. %%% This is a Visiting Professorship grant made under the Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) program. The research will contribute new materials science knowledge at a fundamental level. An important feature of the program is the integration of research and education.
