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

0138172 Angell描述：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：粘性液体和玻璃化转变的20名美国与会者提供旅行支持。 美国亚利桑那州立大学的PI Austen Angell和印度科学研究所的Srikanth Sastry和Chandan Dasgupta是一个关于从移动的液体到玻璃状固体的转变的研讨会的组织者，这是一个当前争论的主题，也是凝聚态物理学中一个重要的未解决的问题。 他们将召集颗粒物质、泡沫、自旋玻璃和涡旋玻璃等相关领域的国际领先物理学家和专家，讨论问题边界并探索一系列明确的主题。 美国参与者是根据他们对这一研究领域的宝贵贡献以及他们对未来进展的重要性而被选中的。 研讨会的范围是探索六个主题，这些主题引起了当前对结构玻璃玻璃转变的兴趣。 范围：美国PI是该领域世界领先的科学家之一。 对这一领域的研究作出最积极贡献的一些科学家是印度国民。 讲习班将利用理论家在印度出席同时举行的统计物理和凝聚态物理会议的机会。 研讨会的举办地位于班加罗尔的印度科学研究所在物理和材料研究方面有着悠久的成就历史，包括印度诺贝尔奖获得者C. V.拉曼和CNR Rao的成就。 印度主办方将承担美国参与者的当地费用;国际科学与工程办公室和材料研究部共同支持这项活动。

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.
