97022242米德尔顿这是一个职业生涯奖给一个新的教员谁是进行计算方法的研究，以调查在凝聚态系统的传输特性与强相互作用的自由度。 该奖项的教育部分将侧重于将计算方法融入课程和部门基础设施。 研究部分由两部分组成。 第一个是在扩展系统，如流体界面和磁畴壁的基态和障碍的研究。 寻找低能量配置的接口和多个相互作用的线的新方法将被应用。 第二部分涉及介观岛阵列中的电荷输运：特别是，通过隧道结耦合的亚微米尺寸的导电点的低温阵列中的电荷输运。 教育部分涉及开发课程，向本科生和研究生传达凝聚态物理学和计算物理学之间丰富的相互作用。 现代物理研究的例子将被引入课堂，教学生如何有效地使用计算工具来研究科学问题。 %%% 这是一个职业奖给一个新的教员谁是进行计算方法的研究，以调查在凝聚态系统的传输特性与强相互作用的自由度。 该奖项的教育部分将侧重于将计算方法融入课程和部门基础设施。 研究部分由两部分组成。 第一个是研究扩展系统中的基态和势垒，如流体界面和磁畴壁。 寻找低能量配置的接口和多个相互作用的线的新方法将被应用。 第二部分涉及介观岛阵列中的电荷输运：特别是通过隧道结耦合的亚微米尺寸的导电点的低温阵列中的电荷输运。 教育部分涉及开发课程，向本科生和研究生传达凝聚态物理学和计算物理学之间丰富的相互作用。 现代物理研究的例子将被引入课堂，教学生如何有效地使用计算工具来研究科学问题。 ***

97022242 Middleton This is a CAREER award to a new faculty member who is conducting research on computational methods to investigate transport properties in condensed matter systems with strongly interacting degrees of freedom. The education component of this award will focus on the integration of computational methods into courses and departmental infrastructure. The research component is comprised of two parts. The first is a study of ground states and barriers in extended systems such as fluid interfaces and magnetic domain walls. New methods for finding low-energy configurations of interfaces and multiple interacting lines will be applied. The second component involves charge transport in arrays of mesoscopic islands: in particular, charge transport in low temperature arrays of sub-micron sized conducting dots coupled by tunnel junctions. The educational component involves developing courses which communicates to both undergraduate and graduate students the rich interaction between condensed matter physics and computational physics. Modern physical examples from research will be introduced into the classroom to teach students how to effectively use computational tools to study scientific problems. %%% This is a CAREER award to a new faculty member who is conducting research on computational methods to investigate transport properties in condensed matter systems with strongly interacting degrees of freedom.
