Sixth International Conference on Valence Fluctuations July 9-13, 1990, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

该奖项支持于1990年7月9日至13日在巴西里约热内卢举行的关于电子系统和凝聚态物理超导性的国际研讨会。美国组织者是费城天普大学的佩德罗·施洛特曼（Pedro Schlottmann）。他的巴西同行组织者是圣保罗康皮纳斯大学的Gaston Barberis博士，这所大学与圣保罗大学一起，是固态（现在称为凝聚态）物理学的强大中心。参与者将是一个国际领先的物理学家团体，被列为组委会（来自巴西的主要大学）和提案中的国际咨询委员会。此外，这笔资金将支持从提交摘要的人员中选出至少8名年轻研究人员出席会议。阿根廷和智利这两个在低温物理方面有实力的拉美国家将派出代表。这次研讨会显然是在物理学的一个关键领域，在这个领域美国和拉丁美洲都有强大的研究小组。自1981年以来，美洲大陆还没有召开过价格波动领域的会议，因此现在召开一次会议当然是及时的。美国、巴西、阿根廷和智利近期工作的介绍将促进这些科学家之间的未来发展和进一步合作。这个主题是凝聚态物理中的一个主要问题，目前在美国和拉丁美洲以及世界物理界引起了强烈的兴趣。

This award supports an international workshop on electron systems and superconductivity in condensed matter physics to be held in Rio de Janeiro from July 9-13, 1990. The U.S. organizer is Pedro Schlottmann of Temple University in Philadelphia. His Brazilian counterpart organizer is Dr. Gaston Barberis of the University of Compinas in Sao Paulo which, along with the University of Sao Paulo, is a very strong center for solid state (now called condensed matter) physics. The participants will be an international group of leading physicists, listed as an Organizing Committee (from the major universities in Brazil) and as an International Advisory Committee in the proposal. In addition, this funding will support the attendance of at least eight young investigators to be chosen from those submitting abstracts. Two Latin American countries with strength in low-temperature physics which will send representatives are Argentina and Chile. The workshop is clearly in a critical area of physics, one in which both the U.S. and Latin America have strong research groups. There has not been a conference in this field of valence fluctuations on the American continent since 1981 so it is certainly timely to hold one now. Presentations of recent work in the U.S. as well as Brazil, Argentina and Chile will stimulate future developments and further collaborations between these scientists. The topic is a major problem in condensed matter physics and is of currently intense interest in the U.S. and Latin America as well as the rest of the world physics community.
