牛津乐器很高兴地宣布，来自西班牙马德里大学的Condensed Matter Physics系的2015年尼古拉斯·库尔蒂欧洲科学奖获亚博老虎机网登录得者是伊莎贝尔·吉拉蒙博士。
IsabelGuillamón博士因其在超导体中的涡旋上的工作而受到认可，特别是用精美的细节制成的成像实验，涵盖了四个数量级的尺寸，从原子尺度上的涡流核心光谱进行，到以微米尺度观看数千个涡流。
“我很荣幸获得这一享有声望的奖项。我感谢牛津工具和尼古拉斯·库尔蒂科学奖委员会，因为它给了我这个重要的机会，并特别承认他们在这项倡议上的工作。这项奖项非常有动力。亚博老虎机网登录Guillamón博士说，努力追求卓越的学术卓越。”Guillamón博士说。
Dr Guillamón is an outstanding physicist. During her PhD, Guillamón set up a scanning tunnelling microscope in a dilution refrigerator and produced results of the highest experimental quality. She made experiments in superconducting thin films grown by focused ion beam and in single crystalline superconductors of only a few tens of microns. She has pioneered microscopy of vortices with atomic resolution showing the influence of charge density waves in the properties of vortex cores. She also directly visualised the melting of a two dimensional vortex lattice, finding that melting is characterised by intermediate phases, a hexatic phase with free dislocations and an anisotropic smectic phase. She tested the transition theory of Berezinskii, Kosterlitz, Thouless, Nelson, Halperin and Young.
During her post-doctoral stay at the University of Bristol, UK, she worked at the high magnetic field facilities of LNCMI (Toulouse, France), HZDR-HLD (Dresden, Germany) and NHMFL (Tallahassee, FL, USA), and studied quantum oscillations in pnictide materials and the prototype two-gap superconductor MgB2。In her recent Nature Physics paper, her work deals with fundamental properties of low dimensional systems. Guillamón studied a two-dimensional vortex lattice embedded in a nanofabricated one-dimensional modulation. Both are incommensurate above a certain magnetic field. Viewing thousands of vortices, she has shown that symmetry breaking modifies zero temperature criticality. She determined the critical exponents of the transition, and showed experimentally the features of scale invariant disorder. Her latest project in Madrid combines direct observation of electronic properties together with quantum oscillations, using a scanning tunnelling microscope. She will directly image how correlations lead to Cooper pair formation and open new avenues of imaging vortices and other systems at high magnetic fields.
Dr Guillamón will be presented with the prize trophy at a future science conference in Europe, where she will present her research work.
The Nicholas Kurti Science Prize selection committee was very pleased to recognize her relentless effort to gain detailed understanding, and exhibit outstanding scientific skills in experimental physics. The committee consists of leading European physicists and is chaired by Professor George Pickett, Lancaster University, UK.
该奖项的目的是促进和认识到在欧洲低温，高磁场和表面科学领域工作的年轻科学家的新工作。亚博老虎机网登录牛津工具知道，在完成博士学位和获得永久研究职位之间，许多人在许多人中遇到了关键且往往很难的阶段。因此，该公司希望通过在经济上提供帮助并通过一系列赞助计划来帮助他们进行创新工作的个人。
