Shen Qi and Yang Dingtian used ultrasonic vibration to crystallize some areas of the Pd425Ni75Cu30P20 amorphous alloy sample.

As the temperature decreases and the pressure increases, the viscosity of the supercooled liquid increases dramatically, resulting in an abnormally slow kinetic behavior.

The high-resolution electron microscope clearly showed the crystallized and uncrystallized regions of the amorphous alloy, and Shen Qi introduced the concept of topology into the 3D model to quantitatively describe the local fifth-order symmetry.

"You see, the higher the local fifth symmetry, the more its structure tends to be icosahedral structure, and vice versa, it tends to crystalline structure, you understand?" Shen Qi asked Yang Dingtian.

Shen Qi taught Yang Dingtian the secret method of the Heart Sutra by hand, and Yang Dingtian benefited a lot: "I understand." ”

Shen Qi asked again: "Aren't you confused?"

"It was the most lucid moment of my life. ”

"Then you go ahead and work to refine the preliminary findings we have just gotten and publish an official report. Shen Qi asked Yang Dingtian to add some more simulation data and experimental data, and publish an article as soon as possible to report their research results.

Leaving the laboratory, Shen Qi listened to the academic report of Ma Chaofan in the mathematics room.

Ma Chaofan graduated from Brown University in the United States, worked at Mizuki University, and came to Shen Qi last year.

Ma Chaofan's algebraic geometry project and Xiao Junlong's mathematical physics project were established at the same time, Xiao Junlong had published his research results a few months ago, and the project was completed.

Xiao Junlong's speed of producing results is very fast, and the quality is also guaranteed, Ma Chaofan completed a key mathematical topic in one year, which is a normal speed.

After listening to Ma Chaofan's paper, Shen Qi said: "Chaofan, your paper is OK as a whole, and there are some small problems that need to be corrected." ”

Ma Chaofan's topic is "Research on a Special Hypersurface", and he humbly asked: "Please Director Shen criticize and correct." ”

"The curvature of Ricci that you can calculate directly is not absolutely accurate, and a master in the field of algebraic geometry can overturn your conclusion with a little scrutiny. Pages 20 to 28 were all deleted and recalculated. Shen Qixin said that this turtle is diligent, but in terms of academic perception and logical rigor, he is not as good as Xiao Junlong.

Ma Chaofan was a little discouraged, but he also accepted Shen Qi's suggestion: "I'll change." ”

At this time, Xiao Junlong entered Shen Qi's office and smiled vigorously: "Yo, the old horse is also here." ”

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and Xiao Junlong, who has never been abroad, has his own uniqueness in mathematics and can complete academic tasks efficiently and with high quality.

"I'm leaving, going back and revising my thesis. Ma Chaofan packed up his materials and left the director's office depressed.

"Old Xiao, look at you, do you have something to do with me?" Shen Qi asked.

"I want to do a new project. Xiao Junlong said.

"No problem, you have an idea, right, it's a good thing to have an idea, has the feasibility study report of the new project been written?" Shen Qi asked Xiao Junlong to sit down, this guy became more and more brave and hot.

Xiao Junlong put a USB flash drive on Shen Qi's desktop: "Please take a look at Director Shen." ”

Shen Qi plugged in the USB flash drive and quickly scanned it: "The topic selection is very good, you are very motivated to do projects, which is worthy of praise." ”

Xiao Junlong said: "There is no way, my family is poor, I can only rely on my own hard work, I think that the new project is finished, I will apply for staff housing, and when the time comes, I will ask Director Shen to say a few kind words on my evaluation form." ”

According to these important indicators, the university decides whether to divide the house and when to divide the house to the scientific research talents.

Shen Qi and Ou Ye are different from returnees who return to China with talent introduction plans, they have a house as soon as they come back.

Zhou Yu'an also has a house, which is not large, with two bedrooms and one living room.

Ma Chaofan is a returnee from the United States, he currently lives in a single apartment at Yan University, and he said that he was dug up by Professor Qiu to Shuimu, and he came back in a daze, and he didn't have time to talk about the conditions.

"You want to divide the house, so your relationship is progressing rapidly?" Shen Qi heard a few months ago that Xiao Junlong had a graduate student girlfriend, Xiao Junlong wanted a house is human nature, regardless of whether it is a new house or an old house, the property rights belong to the individual or the school, and it will be helpful to have a house on the campus of Yan University to live in.

"You can't just be single, and get married when you have a house. Xiao Junlong laughed beautifully, it seemed that he had gained love.

"Then you go to do a new project, I wish you a good harvest in your career and love. ”

Shen Qi agreed with Xiao Junlong to carry out research work on new topics, motivated people have completely different mental states, subordinates work hard, and leaders certainly support.

Shen Qi and Yang Dingtian were also motivated, and after several weeks of fierce battle, the master and his apprentice completed the 973 project, and reported the second article of the project, "Research on the Structure of Amorphous Physics", on PRL.

In the past few years, Shen Qi has reported a total of four articles on condensed matter physics, all of which were published in PRL.

The two articles, "A Study on Defect Topology Based on Spherical Homotopy Group" and "On Complexity", are purely rational studies and were completed and reported by Shen Qi during his work at Princeton.

The two articles "Disorder-Order Phase Transition Rules and Fundamental Equations of a Class of Compounds" and "Research on Amorphous Physical Structure" are mainly theoretical research, with some applied research and analysis of elements, which are jointly promoted and reported by Shen Qi and his doctoral student Yang Dingtian.

In terms of condensed matter physics, Shen Qi does not seek the number of articles, but only makes high-quality products.

The four articles represent four research outputs, each of which is independent but related.

Shen Qi integrated the essence of the four articles and sorted them out to form a new review article.

In Shen Qi's view, 1+1+1+1 is greater than 4, which is not a simple copy and paste.

In September, the Chinese Physicists Conference was held in Beijing, where famous Chinese physicists from home and abroad gathered.

A total of six Chinese physicists have won the Nobel Prize in Physics in history, and two of them are here today, Professor Cui and Chairman Zhu.

Professor Cui is a top expert in the fundamental properties of electronic materials, his research field is condensed matter physics, and he is currently a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor in the Department of Physics at Princeton.

Before becoming vice president of the International Energy Organization, President Zhu served as a secretary of a department in the United States, and then as a professor at Stanford, where he won the Nobel Prize and engaged in research in the field of quantum physics.

It is not easy for Professor Cui, who lives in seclusion, to make an appearance, but Chairman Zhu often returns to China, and Mr. Zhu is keen to communicate with young people and often gives lectures in major universities in China.

Professor Cui is a master of condensed matter physics, and Chairman Zhu is engaged in quantum physics research, and his microscopic understanding of matter is also a master.

The arrival of the two Chinese Nobel laureates has made this Chinese physicists conference have a certain international character.

Shen Qi stepped onto the podium and began to publish a comprehensive report on his research on condensed matter physics in the past few years.
