International Workshop Supersolids 2011

2011年国际研讨会“Supersolidity”（6月7日至10日在纽约城市大学研究生中心举行，2011年）致力于固态物理学在过去十年中最令人兴奋的发现之一-可能很长-在自由空间中寻找超固态物质。这一发现引发了实验和理论研究的爆炸，清楚地表明，量子固体He 4中的新现象比以往任何时候想象的都要丰富。这次研讨会将为美国和国际科学家提供一个令人兴奋的机会，让他们及时了解和交流世界各地的最新发展，以解开固体He 4和其他系统中的超固体之谜。通信在理解超固体现象中以非常有效的方式创造协同作用，并在解决超固体领域的主要理论和实验挑战方面发挥关键作用。作为自然科学教育和培训的重要组成部分，美国国家科学基金会的支持将使美国年轻科学家能够积极参与这一激动人心的进程。

The International Workshop "Supersolidity 2011" (to be held at the Graduate Center of City University of New York, June 7-10, 2011) is devoted to one of the most exciting discoveries in solid state physics in the last decade -- possible long-sought supersolid state of matter in free space.The discovery has spawned an explosion of both experimental and theoretical studies clearly indicating that the quantum solid He4 is richer in new phenomena than ever imagined.This workshop will provide an exciting timely opportunity for the US and international community of scientists -- young and established -- to learn and exchange ideas on the latest developments around the world in order to unravel the enigma of supersolidity in solid He4 and other systems.Direct cross-communications create synergy in understanding the phenomena in a very efficient way and play a crucial role in resolving the main theoretical and experimental challenges in the field of supersolidity.As an essential part of the education and training in natural sciences, the support from the National Science Foundation will allow active participation of young US scientists in this exciting process.
