2001 Aspen Winter Conference on Condensed Matter Physics, "High-Temperature Superconductivity," Aspen, CO, January 21 - 27, 2001

该奖项旨在为阿斯彭物理中心2001年冬季凝聚态物理研讨会提供支持。研讨会将专门讨论高温超导的主题。在发现高温超导十多年后，高温超导是一个令人兴奋和具有挑战性的领域，在实验前沿取得了显著的发展。这次Aspen冬季会议将有一种不同寻常的形式：正式报告将仅针对实验结果。少量的报告员会谈将分析在四个尚未回答的主要基本问题的背景下提出的问题：1)全球相图是什么？2)非费米液体行为是基本的吗？自旋-电荷分离和/或拓扑顺序起作用了吗？4)TC的系统学是什么？与这些问题相关的最新实验结果将在会议上介绍和讨论。这些问题的答案将涉及凝聚态领域的巨大概念进步，并可能引导我们思考范式的转变。所提供的支持将使年轻的物理学家能够出席和参加研讨会。他们将受益于与该领域的世界专家在小范围内互动的机会。这个奖项是为了支持阿斯彭物理中心2001冬季凝聚态物理研讨会。研讨会将专门讨论高温超导的主题。高温超导存在于许多金属材料中，所有这些材料的性质都与普通金属的性质不同，以至于目前还不存在对它们的理论理解。这次Aspen冬季会议将聚集该领域的领先工作者，讨论最新的实验结果如何影响必须开发的理论框架。这次会议围绕的基本问题的答案将涉及凝聚态物理领域的巨大概念进步，并可能引导我们思考范式的转变。虽然会议规模相对较小，但与会者既有资深科学家，也有刚进入该领域的初级科学家。对于物理学的未来来说，年轻的物理学家以一种主要的方式参与这种小型会议是很重要的。此外，这些年轻的科学家将受益于与该领域的国际专家进行小范围互动的机会。

This award is to provide support for the Aspen Center for Physics' Winter 2001 Condensed Matter Physics Workshop. The workshop will be devoted to the topic of high-temperature superconductivity. More than a decade after its discovery, high-temperature superconductivity is an exciting and challenging field with remarkable developments on the experimental front. This Aspen Winter Conference will have an unusual format: formal presentations will be on experimental results only. A small number of rapporteur talks will analyze the issues raised in the context of four major basic still-unanswered questions: 1) What is the global phase diagram? 2) Is non-Fermi liquid behavior fundamental? Does spin-charge separation and/or topological order play any role? 4) what are the systematics of Tc? The latest experimental results pertinent to these issues will be presented and discussed at the conference. The answers to these questions will involve great conceptual advances in the condensed matter field and are likely to lead us to contemplate a shift in paradigm. The support provided will enable young physicists to attend and participate in the workshop. They will benefit from the opportunity to interact in a small setting with world experts in the field.This award is to provide support for the Aspen Center for Physics' Winter 2001 Condensed Matter Physics Workshop. The workshop will be devoted to the topic of high-temperature superconductivity. High-temperature superconductivity occurs in a number of metallic materials all of whose properties are so unlike those of ordinary metals that a theoretical understanding of them does not yet exist. This Aspen Winter Conference will bring together leading workers in the field to discuss how the very latest experimental results impact the theoretical framework which must be developed. The answers to the basic questions around which the conference is organized will involve great conceptual advances in the field of condensed matter physics and are likely to lead us to contemplate a shift in paradigm. While the meeting will be relatively small, the attendees will include both senior scientists and junior ones just starting in the field. It is important for the future of physics that young physicists participate in a major way in small conferences of this kind. In addition these young scientists will benefit from the opportunity to interact in a small setting with international experts in the field.
