项目摘要

To coincide with the centenary of the discovery of superconductivity by H. Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911 we have attracted a major ESF superconductivity workshop to Bath in May 2011. The 3-day workshop on Mesoscopic Superconductivity and Vortex Imaging has already been awarded Euro30k of core support by the ESF Research Network Programme Nanoscience and Engineering in Superconductivity (NES) . Under ESF rules this funding should be used to cover the local costs of scientists from contributing (or associated) European countries. This proposal seeks a modest EPSRC investment to support seven additional world-leading keynote lecturers from outside Europe, allowing this meeting to be able to set a truly international agenda for future high impact UK research in the area. All the proposed keynote speakers are recognised experts in superconductivity and have been selected to give their unique perspectives on the most important contemporary problems in the field, the results from the latest experiments seeking to address these and the most exciting research directions for the future. We also request funds to partially cover the local costs of 10 additional EPSRC PhD students, allowing us to support at least one student from each of the 13 UK groups participating in the ESF NES Programme. These stand to benefit immeasurably from their exposure to the latest ideas and experiments in the field as well as the opportunity to present their research work to recognised international research leaders. In addition to setting the agenda for future high impact UK research in the field the meeting will serve as a showcase for current world-leading UK work on the physics and applications of superconducting materials, both in academia and the industrial sector. New superconducting materials and devices have very strong potential for contributing towards solutions to several key current national challenges in the areas of energy distribution & carbon emissions, health & medical diagnosis and security. EPSRC support will be fully acknowledged in all workshop and publicity materials.

为了纪念 H. Kamerlingh Onnes 于 1911 年发现超导性一百周年，我们于 2011 年 5 月在巴斯举办了一次重要的 ESF 超导研讨会。为期 3 天的介观超导和涡旋成像研讨会已获得 3 万欧元的核心支持由 ESF 研究网络计划超导纳米科学与工程 (NES) 提供。根据 ESF 的规定，这笔资金应用于支付来自贡献（或相关）欧洲国家的科学家的当地费用。该提案寻求适度的 EPSRC 投资，以支持来自欧洲以外的另外七名世界领先的主题讲师，使本次会议能够为英国未来在该领域的高影响力研究制定真正的国际议程。所有提议的主讲人都是超导领域公认的专家，他们被选中就该领域最重要的当代问题、寻求解决这些问题的最新实验结果以及未来最令人兴奋的研究方向发表独特的观点。我们还请求资金来部分支付额外 10 名 EPSRC 博士生的当地费用，使我们能够支持参与 ESF NES 计划的 13 个英国团体中每个团体的至少一名学生。这些人将从接触该领域的最新想法和实验以及向公认的国际研究领导者展示他们的研究工作的机会中受益匪浅。除了为英国未来在该领域的高影响力研究制定议程外，此次会议还将展示当前英国在学术界和工业领域在超导材料物理和应用方面的世界领先工作。新型超导材料和设备具有非常强大的潜力，可以为解决能源分配和碳排放、健康和医疗诊断以及安全领域当前的几个关键国家挑战做出贡献。 EPSRC 的支持将在所有研讨会和宣传材料中得到充分认可。
