US-India Workshop: Viscous Liquids and the Glass Transition, Bangalore, India

0138172 AngellDescription：该奖项为参加2002年1月在印度班加罗尔举行的美国-印度研讨会：粘性液体和玻璃转变的20名美国与会者提供旅行支持。亚利桑那州立大学的美国派·奥斯汀·安吉尔和印度科学研究所的斯里坎思·萨斯特里和昌丹·达斯古普塔是一个关于从流动液体到玻璃固体转变的研讨会的组织者，这是当前许多争论的主题，也是凝聚态物理中一个重要的悬而未决的问题。他们将召集国际领先的物理学家和颗粒物质、泡沫、自旋玻璃和涡流玻璃相关领域的专家，讨论问题边界，并探索一系列明确定义的主题。美国参与者是根据他们对这一研究领域的宝贵贡献和对未来进展的重要性而被挑选出来的。研讨会的范围是对六个主题的探索，这些主题引起了当前对结构玻璃中的玻璃转变的兴趣。范围：美国PI是该领域世界领先的科学家之一。一些对这一领域的研究做出最积极贡献的科学家是印度国民。讲习班将利用印度理论家出席同时举行的统计物理和凝聚态物理会议的机会。研讨会地点位于班加罗尔的印度科学研究所在物理和材料研究方面取得了悠久的成就，包括印度诺贝尔奖获得者C.V.拉曼和CNR Rao的成就。印度东道主将为美国参与者支付当地费用；国际科学与工程办公室和材料研究部共同支持这一活动。

0138172AngellDescription: This award provides travel support for 20 American participants at the US-India Workshop: Viscous Liquids and the Glass Transition, Bangalore, India, January 2002. US PI Austen Angell, Arizona State University and Srikanth Sastry and Chandan Dasgupta, Indian Institute of Science, are organizers for a workshop on transition from mobile liquid to glassy solid, a subject of much current debate and an important unsolved problem of condensed matter physics. They will convene leading international physicists and experts in the related areas of granular matter, foams, spin glasses and vortex glasses to discuss problem boundaries and explore a series of well-defined themes. US participants were selected on the basis of their valuable contributions to this research area and for their importance to future progress. The scope of the workshop is exploration of six themes that have generated the current wave of interest on glass transition in structural glasses. Scope: The US PI is one of the world's leading scientists in this field. Some of the most active contributing scientists to research in this field are Indian nationals. The workshop will take advantage of the presence in India of theorists attending concurrent statistical physics and condensed matter physics conferences. The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, the workshop venue, has a long history of achievement in physics and materials research, including those of Indian Nobel Laureate C.V. Raman and CNR Rao. Indian hosts will meet local costs for US participants; the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Materials Research jointly support this activity.
