This research consists of two parts.  E. K. Riedel will extend                  his analytical and numerical studies of quantum coherence and                   transport phenomena in small mesoscopic structures.  The initial                focus will be on persistent currents in non-superconducting rings               and related static and dynamic mesoscopic phenomena.  The goal is               the elucidation of unusual quantum coherence and statistical                    mechanical effects that occur in the electronic, thermal, and                   mechanical properties of submicron sized structures.  He will                   also look at the competition between surface-roughening and                     surface-melting phase transitions in solids.                                                                                                                    M. den Nijs will extend his present work on two-dimensional                     critical phenomena and phase transitions and on the ground state                properties of one-dimensional quantum systems.  This can be                     characterized by the following four closely related topics:   1.                interrelations between surface roughening and surface                           reconstruction; 2. development and applications of numerical                    Monte Carlo finite size scaling of interface free energies; 3.                  further development and applications of extended scaling and                    conformal invariance; 4. novel fluid states with long range order               in one-dimensional quantum spin chains.
