2001 International Conference on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

在过去的20年里，人们发现了强相关的电子现象，例如非常规超导性、奇异的非费米液态金属、本质上不均匀的电子和磁相，以及各种看似不同的材料家族中的新颖矩配置。该奖项为将于2001年8月6日至10日在密歇根州安阿伯举行的强相关电子系统国际会议（SCES 2001）提供支持。会议将探讨最新的实验和理论发展，此外还将进行评估该领域现状的概述性会谈。会议的主题包括：重费米子、近藤物理和混合价、超导和磁性的相互作用、非费米液体现象和量子临界性、低维金属的相关性、新型f-和d-电子材料以及低载流子密度系统。 此外，会议还包括新兴的主题，如相关材料的时间分辨光谱，隐藏和轨道排序，以及自旋电荷分离。 NSF的支持将有助于确保这一领域的持续活力，为首次参加会议的研究生，博士后和年轻教师提供经济援助。此外，它将通过提供差旅支助，促进印度和东欧的知名研究人员与其他与会者之间的新合作。强电子相关性是超导和磁性等重要技术现象的起源，甚至可以使材料成为电绝缘材料，而不是金属。就其性质而言，强相关电子问题是一个跨越传统物理学、化学和材料科学界限的中心知识主题。在这一领域的杰出的国际会议是强相关电子系统（SCES），并为近10年来第一次，它将召开在美国安阿伯，密歇根州从2001年8月6日至10日。 本次会议的目的是确定和探索在各种不同类别的相关电子材料的实验和理论重要性的共同问题。该奖项为会议提供支持，通过支持年轻科学家-研究生，博士后和新教师的参与，帮助确保美国这一核心研究领域的持续活力。此外，会议将通过卫星研讨会促进美国科学家与印度和东欧同行之间的新合作。该奖项还将补充这些与会者的旅费。***

The past 20 years have seen the discovery of strongly correlated electron phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity, exotic non-Fermi liquid metals, intrinsically inhomogeneous electronic and magnetic phases, and novel moment configurations in a broad array of seemingly distinct material families. This award provides support for the International Conference on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems (SCES 2001), to be held August 6-10,2001 in Ann Arbor, MI. The conference will explore the most recent experimental and theoretical developments, in addition there will be overview talks assessing the current status of the field. The topics for the conference include: heavy fermions, Kondo physics, and mixed valence, the interplay of superconductivity and magnetism, non-Fermi liquid phenomena and quantum criticality, correlations in low dimensional metals, novel f- and d- electron materials, and low carrier density systems. Additionally, the conference includes emerging topics such as time resolved spectroscopies of correlated materials, hidden and orbital ordering, and spin-charge separation. The NSF support will help ensure the continued vitality of this field by providing financial assistance to graduate students, postdocs, and young faculty who are attending the conference for the first time. In addition, it will foster new collaborations among established researchers from India and Eastern Europe with other conference participants by providing travel support. %%%Strong electron correlations are the origin of such technologically important phenomena as superconductivity and magnetism, and can even render a material to be electrically insulating when it would otherwise be a metal. By its nature, the strongly correlated electron problem is a central intellectual theme that cuts across traditional physics, chemistry, and materials science boundaries. The pre-eminent international conference in this area is Strongly Correlated Electron Systems (SCES), and for the first time in almost 10 years it will convene in the United States in Ann Arbor, MI from August 6-10, 2001. It is the aim of this conference to identify and explore common issues of both experimental and theoretical importance in a variety of different classes of correlated electron materials. This award provides support to the conference to help ensure the continued vitality of this core research field in the United States by supporting the participation of young scientists - graduate students, postdocs, and new faculty. In addition, the conference will foster new collaborations between established US scientists and their counterparts in India and Eastern Europe through a satellite workshop. This award will also supplement the travel funds of these participants. ***
