Low Dimensional Structures and Devices

该项目始于1991年4月。第一阶段于1994年3月顺利结束。1994年4月，项目进入第二阶段。第二阶段增加了超导铜氧化物的课题，邀请了剑桥大学IRC超导研究中心主任梁文英教授加入我们的英日合作小组。该项目为期5年，目的是利用两国的互补优势，通过理论和实验相结合的研究，阐明低维结构的半导体和超导体的性质。该项目除了在日本和英国之间进行个人访问外，还以独特的方式进行。英国成员将SERC在英国的LDSD项目中制作的好样品带到东京大学固体物理研究所的Megagauss实验室，由EPSRC-Monbuso联合团队进行实验。然后，在联合小组中的理论家和实验家的合作下对结果进行了分析。在这种合作中，英国和日本科学家之间创造了一种非常愉快的气氛。这种友谊非常成功地领导了目前的合作工作，并取得了一些突出的成果。至于超导性的项目，Kamimura和Liang将继续合作，直到1997学年由英国理事会东京办事处赞助。这也是目前英日合作的一个显著成果。

This project started on April of 1991. The first phase finished successfully on March of 1994. Then the project was continued to proceed to the second phase on April of 1994. In the second phase the subject of superconducting copper oxides was added, and Prof.W.Y.Liang, Director of IRC in superconductivity in University of Cambridge, was invited to join the our UK-Japan collaboration group. The aim of the 5-year collaboration was to elucidate the properties of semiconductors and superconductors with low dimensional structures, by combined theoretical and experimental studies exploiting the complemental strengths of the two countries.This project has been conducted in a unique way, in addition to individual visits to and from Japan and the UK.That is, the British members brought good samples made by the SERC projects on LDSD in the UK into the Megagauss Laboratory in Institute for Solid state Physics (ISSp) in University of Tokyo to carry out experiments by a joint EPSRC-Monbusho team. Then results have been analyzed by the collaboration of theorists and experimentalists in the joint team.In this collaboration an extremely pleasant atmosphere has been created between UK and Japanese scientists. This friendship has led the present collaborative work most successfully, and a number of outstanding results have been obtained. As regards the project of superconductivity Kamimura and Liang will continue to collaborate until the 1997 academic year by the sponsorship of the British Council Tokyo office. This is also a remarkable ourcome of the present UK-Japan collaboration.
