Partial Support for Sixth International Conference on Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity and High Temperature Superconductors, Houston, Texas, February 20 - 25, 2000

9978273 Chu该项目为研究生和年轻物理学家提供部分支持，以参加将于2000年2月20日至25日在德克萨斯州休斯顿举行的第六届超导-高温超导体材料和机制国际会议。高温超导性对科学家提出了前所未有的挑战，并为技术人员提供了巨大的希望。尽管高温超导科学和技术在过去13年中取得了令人印象深刻的进展，但尚未开发全面的微观理论，可行的商业化仍然遥不可及。会议将汇集国际超导界的成员，重点关注超导体的物理，材料和设备的见解，并预测超导和相关科学和设备的新兴和未来研究领域。所有主要的超导性和相关的主题将被涵盖。该会议是超导领域最大的国际活动，每两到三年举行一次。将为与会者之间，特别是老研究人员和年轻研究人员之间的密切互动提供充足的时间。我们坚信，由于与会者之间的密切互动，超导各个子领域和相关研究之间的交流将加速超导科学和技术的发展。该项目提供的支助将增加研究生和青年科学家参加将于2000年2月20日至25日在得克萨斯州休斯顿举行的第六届超导材料和机制-高温超导体国际会议的机会。该会议是超导领域最大的国际活动，每两三年举行一次，预计将有1500人参加。高温超导被认为是世纪的关键技术之一。培养这一领域的年轻研究人员，对保持美国在未来高温超导科学技术发展中的突出地位非常重要。

9978273ChuThe project provides partial support for graduate students and young physicists to participate in the Sixth International Conference on Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity-High Temperature Superconductors to be held February 20-25, 2000, in Houston, Texas. High temperature superconductivity has posed an unparalleled challenge to scientists and has offered great promise to technologists. In spite of the impressive progress made in high temperature superconductivity science and technology in the last 13 years, a comprehensive microscopic theory is yet to be developed and viable commercialization remains beyond reach. The Conference will bring together members of the international superconductivity community to focus on insights into the physics, materials and devices of superconductors, with a projection to the emerging and future research areas in superconductivity and related science and devices. All major superconductivity and related topics will be covered. The Conference is the largest international event on super-conductivity and is held every two to three years. Ample time will be made available for close interaction between participants, and between veteran and young researchers, in particular. It is strongly believed that cross-fertilization between various subdomains of superconductivity and related research resulting from the close interaction among participants at the Conference will accelerate the development of superconductivity science and technology.%%%The support provided by this project will enhance the opportunity for graduate students and young scientists to attend the Sixth International Conference on Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity-High Temperature Superconductors to be held, February 20-25, 2000, in Houston, Texas. The Conference is the largest international event on superconductivity held every two-three years with the expected attendance of about 1500 for this coming event. High temperature superconductivity has been proposed by some to be one of the critical technologies of the 21st century. The training of young researchers in this area is very important to maintaining the US in a prominent position in the future development of high temperature superconductivity science and technology.***
