Density Functional Theories of Freezing and Interfaces

冻结和界面的密度泛函理论：该奖项是在美国-工业化国家科学家和工程师交流计划1987/1988竞赛下提出的。该项目旨在使美国科学家和工程师能够在西欧工业化国家以及日本、澳大利亚和新西兰的研究机构进行长期研究。交换奖为进行联合研究和利用国外独特或互补的设施、专门知识和实验条件提供了机会。奖项的评选依据是与其科学领域相关的科学标准、申请人专业发展的前景潜力，以及与促进国际科学与工程合作有关的标准。该项目特别针对正在从事研究工作的科学家和工程师。该研究项目的目标是将两个小组独立开发的理论方法应用于微观尺度上液体结晶的研究。目的是了解不同类型液体、液晶和塑料晶体的相图的性质，并为熔体晶体的成核速率和晶体生长速率发展新的理论。该项目由美国芝加哥大学James frank研究所和化学系David W. Oxtoby教授和英国布里斯托尔Tyndall Avenue皇家堡布里斯托尔大学H.H. Wills物理实验室Robert Evans教授指导。该奖励建议提供资金，酌情支付国际旅行，国外本地旅行，津贴，家属津贴（如果适用），语言培训（如果需要），以及美国本土机构250美元的固定行政津贴。

Density Functional Theories of Freezing and Interfaces: This award recommendation is made under the U.S.-Industrialized Countries Program for the Exchange of Scientists and Engineers, 1987/1988 Competition. The program is designed to enable U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct long-term research at research institutions in the industrialized countries of Western Europe as well as Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Exchange awards provide opportunities for the conduct of joint research and the utilization of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions in foreign countries. Awards are selected on the basis of scientific criteria relevant to his/her field of science, the prospective potential of the applicants for professional growth, as well as criteria relevant to the furthering of international cooperation in science and engineering. The program is particularly directed to scientists and engineers who are embarking on their research careers. The goal of this research project is to apply theoretical methods developed independently by the two groups to the study of the crystallization of liquids on a microscopic scale. The purpose is to understand the nature of the phase diagrams that result for different types of liquids, liquid crystals, and plastic crystals, and to develop new theories for the rates of nucleation and crystal growth for crystal from the melt. The project is under the direction of Professor David W. Oxtoby, James Franck Institute and Department of Chemistry, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, U.S.A., and Professor Robert Evans, H.H. Wills Physics Laboratory, University of Bristol, Royal Fort, Tyndall Avenue, Bristol, England. This award recommendation provides funds to cover, as appropriate, international travel, local travel abroad, stipend, dependents allowance, if applicable, language training, if required, and a flat administrative allowance of $250 for the U.S. home institution.
