U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: Renormalization-Group Approach to the Quantum Hall Effect

9815194 Raikh该奖项支持Mikhail Raikh博士和犹他州大学的两名研究生与德国切姆尼茨-茨维考技术大学物理系的Michael Schreiber合作。 该奖项资助的研究将通过将美国分析技术小组的专业知识与德国数值模拟小组的专业知识相结合，进一步加深我们对整数量子霍尔效应的理解。 使用一种新的技术，称为重整化群方法，德国和美国的联合小组将能够将量子霍尔效应的理解提升到一个新的水平。 参与该项目的两名美国研究生将专注于工作的分析方面，但通过与德国小组的接触，将获得计算机模拟方面的有用经验。 这家德国集团拥有优秀的超级计算设施，并以无序系统物理学的数值研究而闻名。

9815194RaikhThis award supports Dr. Mikhail Raikh and two graduate students from the University of Utah in a collaboration with Michael Schreiber of the Department of Physics at the Technical University of Chemnitz-Zwickau in Chemnitz, Germany. The research funded by this award will further our understanding of the integer quantum Hall effect by combining the expertise of the U.S. group in analytical techniques with that of the German group in numerical simulation. Using a novel technique, called the renormalization group approach, the combined German and U.S. groups will be able to carry the understanding of the quantum Hall effect to a new level. The two U.S. graduate students involved in the project will concentrate on the analytical aspects of the work, but, through their contact with the German group, will gain useful experience in computer simulation. The German group has access to excellent super-computing facilities and is world renowned for numerical studies of the physics of disordered systems.
