US-Pakistan Workshop: 26th International Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs: Islamabad, Pakistan, 25th June - 14th July, 2001

0112863 Rahman描述：该项目支持美国科学家参加2001年6月25日至7月14日在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡举行的第26届国际Nathiagali物理学和当代需求暑期学院。 巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡阿扎姆大学国家物理中心主任Riazuddin博士是该学院为期一周的凝聚态物理学会议的组织者。 来自欧洲、巴基斯坦和美国的科学家将作报告。 与会者包括科学家，大多是最近的博士。这些国家包括阿塞拜疆、孟加拉国、中国、印度、伊朗、尼泊尔、塔吉克斯坦、土耳其和巴基斯坦。 其中还包括来自巴基斯坦的研究生。在为期三周的大学期间，有四个领域。 美国代表团将主要参加CMP会议。 选择这些主题的目的是提供这些研究领域的最新进展和趋势的概要。 这些包括远离平衡的系统的统计力学;金属表面的纳米结构和蚀刻的研究;纳米结构材料的理论，合成和表征;半导体表面上薄膜生长的宏观研究;金属表面上薄膜生长的原子论研究，碳纳米管;永磁材料和磁性多层膜的研究;以及永磁体、磁性纳米结构和磁记录应用的研究。 组织者计划出版整个学院演讲的记录。适用范围：该项目使8名美国科学家能够参加一个重要会议，并使南亚国家的科学家能够与物理学的最新发展保持联系，特别是在先进国家的设施中进行观测后产生的凝聚态物理学。这是一个很好的机会，让来自先进国家的科学家把他们的知识和想法交流，发展和应用在其他社区。 来自欧洲、中国和日本的讲师和演讲者越来越多地参加这些暑期学院。 该项目使美国能够保持在这样的项目中的存在，并在科学合作中保持竞争力，招募研究生和访问者，并有机会传播研究成果。 过去的大学已经招募了几名新的研究生，他们为美国的研究项目做出了重大贡献。该项目在支持研讨会方面达到了INT的目标，在这些研讨会上有可能产生互利和信息传播。

0112863 RahmanDescription: This project supports the participation of US scientists in the 26th International Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs in Islamabad, Pakistan, June 25-July 14, 2001. Dr. Riazuddin, Director of the National Center for Physics at Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan is the organizer of a one-week session on condensed matter physics (CMP) at the College. Scientists from Europe, Pakistan and the United States will make presentations. Attendees include scientists, mostly recent Ph.D.'s, from a number of developing countries in the region, including Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, China, India, Iran, Nepal, Tajikistan, Turkey, as well as Pakistan. They also include graduate students from Pakistan. There are four areas covered during the three week College. The US team will participate mainly in the CMP session. The topics are selected with the aim of providing a synoptic view of latest advances and trends in these fields of research. These include the statistical mechanics of systems far from equilibrium; studies of nanostructuring and etching of metal surfaces; theory, synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials for photocatalysis; macroscopic studies of thin film growth on semiconductor surfaces; atomistic studies of thin film growth on metal surfaces, carbon nanotubes; studies of permanent magnetic materials and magnetic multilayers; and studies of permanent magnets, magnetic nanostructures and magnet recording applications. The organizers are planning to have a publication of the proceedings of the entire College presentations. Scope: This project enables eight US scientists to attend an important meeting and to allow scientists from countries in south Asia to stay in touch with recent developments in physics, especially condensed matter physics, resulting from observations at facilities in advanced countries. This is an excellent opportunity for scientists from the advanced countries to take their knowledge and ideas for exchange, development, and application in other communities. Lecturers and speakers from Europe, China and Japan are increasingly participating in these summer colleges. This project allows the US to maintain a presence in programs like this and to remain competitive in scientific collaborations, recruiting graduate students and visitors, and to have the opportunity to disseminate results of research. Past colleges have resulted in recruitment of several new graduate students who have added significantly to US research programs. The project meets INT objectives in supporting seminars where mutual benefits and dissemination of information is likely to result.
