US-Russian Research on Investigations in HTSC, Nonlinear Oxides and Unconventional Superfluids

这项关于高温超导、非线性氧化物和非常规超流体研究的美俄联合合作研究将由西北大学的John Ketterson和R.P.H. Chang以及顿河畔罗斯托夫州立大学的Peter Brusov博士。他们的合作将集中在三个研究领域：(1)非线性光学氧化物材料，将应用新开发的溅射技术；(2)非常规超导体和超流体，其中隧道和原子力显微镜将用于研究HFS涡旋附近的磁场分布；(3)高温超导体（HTSC），其中带状导体将使用西北大学建造的新型溅射系统和顿河畔罗斯托夫州立大学制造的靶材生产。高温超导和非线性光学领域的进展与氧化物材料的进展密切相关。西北大学最近才对非线性氧化物材料产生兴趣，而罗斯托夫大学是俄罗斯氧化物陶瓷材料的领先供应商和开发商。通过使美国和俄罗斯的领先研究人员在基础科学领域的强烈共同兴趣和能力领域结合互补的努力和能力，材料研究方面的研究实现了推进科学知识的计划目标在平等、互惠、互利的基础上进行研究。

This US-Russia Joint Cooperative Research on Investigations in HTSC, Nonlinear Oxides and Unconventional Superfluids will be conducted by Drs. John Ketterson and R.P.H. Chang, Northwestern University and Dr. Peter Brusov, Rostov-on-Don State University. Their cooperation will feature three areas of research: (1) nonlinear optical oxide materials, where newly developed sputtering techniques will be applied; (2) unconventional superconductors and superfluids, where tunneling and atomic force microscopy will be used to study the magnetic field distribution in the vicinity of a vortex in HFS; and (3) high temperature superconductors (HTSC), where ribbon conductors will be produced using a novel sputtering system constructed at Northwestern University and targets made at Rostov-on-Don State University. Progress in the fields of high temperature superconductivity and nonlinear optics is intimately coupled to advances in oxide materials. Interest in nonlinear oxide materials developed only recently at Northwestern, while Rostov is a leading Russian supplier and developer of oxide ceramic materials. This research in materials research fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and Russia to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
