Technical abstract: Materials and devices with very small dimensions but larger than single atoms have recently been fabricated and studied. Novel effects have been discovered in these so-called mesoscopic systems. In separate developments, recent advances in the understanding of disordered systems, critical phenomena, and non- linear dynamics have made it possible and imperative to ask deeper questions about complexity. Our approach is to probe model complex systems such as glasses and driven vortices in superconductors with novel mesoscopic techniques. In this way important phenomena can be directly studied for the first time. Non-technical abstract: Materials and devices with very small dimensions but larger than single atoms have recently been fabricated and studied. Novel effects with particular importance to microelectronics have been discovered in these so-called mesoscopic systems. In separate developments, recent advances in the understanding of such problems as turbulent flow and neural networks have made it possible and imperative to ask deeper questions about complexity. Our approach is to probe model complex systems such as glasses and superconductors with novel mesoscopic techniques.

技术摘要：最近已经制造和研究了尺寸非常小但大于单个原子的材料和器件。 在这些所谓的介观系统中已经发现了新的效应。 在单独的发展中，对无序系统、临界现象和非线性动力学的理解的最新进展使得提出有关复杂性的更深层次问题成为可能并且势在必行。 我们的方法是利用新颖的介观技术来探测模型复杂系统，例如玻璃和超导体中的驱动涡流。 通过这种方式，可以首次直接研究重要的现象。 非技术摘要：最近已经制造和研究了尺寸非常小但大于单个原子的材料和设备。 在这些所谓的介观系统中发现了对微电子学特别重要的新效应。 在单独的发展中，对湍流和神经网络等问题的理解的最新进展使得提出有关复杂性的更深层次问题成为可能并且势在必行。 我们的方法是利用新颖的介观技术来探测模型复杂系统，例如玻璃和超导体。
