U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: High Temperature Superconductivity

该奖项支持美国科学家参加于1999年10月在日本山梨市举行的为期一周的美日高温超导研讨会。协办人是布法罗纽约州立大学（SUNY）的David Shaw教授和日本科学技术机构的Keiji Terazawa博士。讨论会将集中讨论这十年来在这一领域取得的重大进展以及该领域目前关心的问题。将讨论的四个技术领域包括：1)磁带、电缆和线圈；2)本体合成、结构及应用；3)涡旋结构、临界电流、交流损耗；4)薄膜、新材料及表征。研讨会的目的是将两国专家聚集在一起：1)就高温超导（HTS）发展的最新进展交流信息；2)参观对方的研发实验室，了解HTS的设备和人员支持水平；3)确定特别适合开展国际合作项目的问题领域，以进一步推进高温运输技术的进展。与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。研讨会组织者特别努力让年轻的科学家和研究生参与进来。会议记录预计将由组织者在出版的研讨会报告中提供。＊＊＊

9908646ShawThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on high temperature superconductivity (HTS) to be held in Yamanashi, Japan for one week in October l999. The co-organizers are Professor David Shaw of the State University of New York (SUNY) in Buffalo and Dr. Keiji Terazawa of the Science and Technology Agency in Japan. The seminar will focus on significant advances that have been made in this area during this decade as well as topics of current interest in the field. The four technical areas to be discussed include: 1) tape, cables and coils; 2) bulk synthesis, structure and applications; 3) vortex structure, critical current, and AC loss; and 4) thin films, new materials and characterization.The objectives of the seminar are to bring together specialists from both countries to 1) exchange information on recent advances in the development of high temperature superconductivity (HTS); 2) visit each other's R&D laboratories to gain an understanding of the level of equipment and personnel support in HTS; and 3) identify the problem areas that are particularly suited for international cooperative programs to further the progress of HTS. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger scientists and graduate students. Proceedings of the meeting are expected to be made available, by the organizers, in a published seminar report. ***
