US-India Cooperative Research: Investigation of the Superelectron Density at the Superconductor-Insulator(SI) Transition in Two Dimensions

0216755 Goldman描述：该奖项支持美国和印度的合作研究，题为二维超导体-绝缘体（SI）过渡处的超电子密度研究。 美国PI艾伦戈德曼，技术研究所物理学杰出教授，明尼苏达大学将开始与N。印度科学研究所（IISc）。 戈德曼的NSF支持的研究重点是电子局限于平面（2D）的性质，特别是极端2D极限的超导性，其中存在量子临界行为和2D金属态的存在问题。 Alasekhar的努力集中在类似的问题上，但有特定的实验研究，这与高盛的不同。 他们提议联合起来，对各自更广泛项目的一个子集进行调查。 适用范围：这项研究将为这两个研究项目增加一个国际层面，并将大大加快SI转变附近超流密度测量研究的进展。 合作将加强研究生和博士后在这两个机构的培训，并促进凝聚态理论在IISc（Ramakrishnan）和明尼苏达州（Larkin和Glazman）的强大团体之间的互动。 这些人都是世界级的理论家。 高盛的研究计划在年轻科学家的发展方面非常强大。 这项活动得到了印度科学技术部（DST）在NSF/DST联合计划下的支持。

0216755GoldmanDescription: This award supports US-India cooperative research entitled Investigation of the Superelectron Density at the Superconductor-Insulator (SI) Transition in Two Dimensions. US PI Allen Goldman, Institute of Technology Distinguished Professor of Physics, University of Minnesota will start a collaborative research program with N. Chandrasekhar, Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Goldman's NSF supported research focuses on properties of electrons confined to a plane (2D), particularly superconductivity in the extreme 2D limit, where there are issues of quantum critical behavior and the existence of a metallic state in 2D. Chandrasekhar's efforts are concentrated on similar problems, but with specific experimental investigations, which differ from Goldman's. They propose to join forces to carry out investigations on a subset of their respective broader programs. Scope: This research will add an international dimension to both research programs and will greatly speed the progress of research on measurements of the superfluid density near the SI transition. The collaboration will enhance the training of graduate students and postdocs at both institutions and promote interaction between the powerful groups in condensed matter theory at the IISc, (Ramakrishnan) and at Minnesota (Larkin and Glazman). These individuals are world-class theoreticians. Goldman's research program is very strong in the development of young scientists. This activity is supported by the Indian Department of Science & Technology (DST) under the NSF/DST joint program.
