Research Oriented Workshops on Condensed Matter Physics at ICCMP-Brasilia, Brazil, September, 1990

该奖项支持将于1990年9月在巴西首都巴西利亚举行的凝聚态物理国际讲习班。美国的组织者是诺克斯维尔田纳西大学的Gerald D. Mahan。他的同行是位于巴西利亚大学的国际凝聚态物理中心（ICCMP）的Alvaro Ferraz。这是在巴西利亚定期举行的关于当前主题的一系列讲习班之一。这些包括固体理论，统计物理，电子传递，计算方法和固体和表面的光谱学。研讨会将在ICCMP的新楼举行，新楼设有图书馆、电脑、礼堂、研讨室和办公室。这里有大量的物理学收藏，包括重要的国际期刊。巴西物理学家现在正在购买大型计算机。因此，举办数值方法研讨会是很及时的。这将涵盖计算带结构，分子动力学和蒙特卡罗方法。在这次研讨会之后，将在12月举行最后一次研讨会，讨论固体和表面的光谱分析方法。这些研讨会吸引了来自整个南美洲的与会者，为彼此之间以及与美国科学家之间的互动提供了最大的机会。

This award supports an international workshop on condensed matter physics to be held in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, during September 1990. The U.S. organizer is Gerald D. Mahan of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. His counterpart is Alvaro Ferraz at the International Center for Condensed Matter Physics (ICCMP) located at the University of Brasilia. This is one of a series of workshops on current topics held regularly in Brasilia. These include theory of solids, statistical physics, electron transport, computational methods and spectroscopy of solids and surfaces. The workshop will be held in the new building of ICCMP which houses a library, computer, auditorium and seminar rooms as well as offices. There is a large physics collection including important international journals. Brazilian physicists are now acquiring large computers. For this reason it is timely to hold the workshop on numerical methods. This will cover calculations of band structure, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. Following this one there will be a final workshop in December on spectrograpphic methods for solids and surfaces. These workshops draw attendance from throughout South America offering maximum opportunity for interaction with each other and with U.S. scientists.
