2001 Gordon Research Conference on Condensed Matter Physics; New London, CT; June 17-22, 2001

戈登凝聚态物理会议旨在汇集世界各国领导人、青年研究人员和各级学生，展示和讨论令人兴奋的新成果以及凝聚态物理各子领域之间的相互关系。主题涵盖范围从量子电子学和传输到软凝聚态物质和生物物理学。在今年的会议上，不同的领域由于对有机分子的性质和组装的兴趣而联系在一起。通过应用栅极对掺杂金属和超导的有机晶体进行侮辱的新结果导致了对碳基系统中输运的新见解。有机晶体的结果将与纳米管、聚合物和DNA的结果进行比较。然后在溶液中考虑DNA的运输，并导致对其介电特性的理解，以及它可以被操纵和自组装成各种结构的方式。介绍了信息的内容及其在生物系统中的价值。然后还讨论了与玻璃和颗粒材料有关的填料受挫和堵塞问题。会议提供讲座，但强调讲师和学生之间的正式和非正式讨论的大量时间。鼓励学生直接参与，通过展示他们的作品海报，作为与更多资深研究人员互动的焦点。戈登凝聚态物理会议旨在汇集世界各国领导人、青年研究人员和各级学生，展示和讨论新电子、结构、有机和生物材料物理前沿领域令人兴奋的新成果。参与者将来自学术界、工业界和政府实验室。有机晶体、聚合物和生物材料最近被证明是具有可控特性的电导体，可用于数据存储、发光、计算、迁移和有趣的新结构。这些材料为基础科学以及潜在和当前的应用带来了新的见解。它们也说明了有机系统和无机系统的相对优势。通过大量的时间投入到正式和非正式的讨论，以及海报会议，学生们展示他们的结果，作为与更资深的研究人员互动的焦点，鼓励学生参与。

The Gordon Conference on Condensed Matter Physics is aimed at bringing together world leaders, young investigators and students at all levels to present and discuss exciting new results and the inter-relations between the diverse subfields in condensed matter physics. The topics covered range from quantum electronics and transport to soft condensed matter and biophysics. In this years conference the different areas are tied together by an interest in organic molecules their properties and assembly. Dramatic new results on insulting organic crystals doped metallic and superconducting by applying a gate electrode lead to new insights into transport in carbon based systems. The results on organic crystals are to be compared/contrasted with those of nanotubes, polymers and DNA. Transport in DNA is then considered in solution and leads to an understanding of its dielectric properties and the way it can be manipulated and self assembled into various structures. The information content and its value in biological systems is presented. Problems of frustrated packings and jamming are then discussed also in relation to the glasses and granular materials. The conference provides lectures, but emphasizes a large amount of time for formal and informal discussions between lecturers and students. The students are encouraged to participate directly by presenting posters on their work to serve as a focal point for interaction with more senior researchers.The Gordon Conference on Condensed Matter Physics is aimed at bringing together world leaders, young investigators and students at all levels to present and discuss exciting new results in forefront areas of the physics of new electronic, structural, organic and biological materials. The participants will be from academe, industry and government labs. Organic crystals, polymers, and biological materials have very recently been shown to be electrical conductors with controllable properties useful for data storage, light emission, computation, mobility and interesting new structures. These materials bring new insight into both fundamental science and potential and present applications. They also illustrate the relative advantages of organic and inorganic systems. Student participation is encouraged both by the large amount of time devoted to formal and informal discussion as well as poster sessions where the students present their results as a focal points for interaction with more senior researchers.
