Neil W. Ashcroft is a British solid-state physicist. Ashcroft completed his undergraduate studies at the University of New Zealand in 1958 and received his PhD in 1964 from the University of Cambridge for research investigating the Fermi surfaces of metals. Following his PhD, Ashcroft completed postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago and at Cornell University, where he became a Professor in 1975. In 1990 he was named the Horace White Professor of Physics, and was elected to emeritus status in 2006. He served as the director for the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics at Cornell University (1979-1984), the director for the Cornell Center for Materials Research (1997-2000), and as the deputy director for the High Energy Synchrotron Source (1990-1997). Between 1986 and 1987, he served as the head of the Condensed Matter division of the American Physical Society. His textbook on solid-state physics, written with N. David Mermin, is a standard text in the field. Since 1997, he has been a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
N. David Mermin is Horace White Professor of Physics Emeritus at Cornell University. He has received the Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society and the Klopsteg Award of the American Association of Physics Teachers. He is a member of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Professor Mermin has written on quantum foundational issues for several decades, and is known for the clarity and wit of his scientific writings. Among his other books are Solid State Physics (with N. W. Ashcroft, Thomson Learning 1976), Boojums all the Way Through (Cambridge University Press 1990), and It’s about Time: Understanding Einstein’s Relativity (Princeton University Press 2005).

Neil W. Ashcroft是一位英國固態物理學家。Ashcroft於1958年在紐西蘭大學完成本科學業，並於1964年在劍橋大學獲得博士學位，研究對象是金屬的費米面。在博士學位後，Ashcroft在芝加哥大學和康奈爾大學進行博士後研究，並於1975年成為該校的教授。1990年，他被任命為霍勒斯·懷特物理學教授，並於2006年當選為名譽教授。他曾擔任康奈爾大學原子與固態物理實驗室主任（1979-1984年），康奈爾材料研究中心主任（1997-2000年），以及高能同步輻射源副主任（1990-1997年）。在1986年至1987年期間，他擔任美國物理學會凝態物理部門主任。他與N. David Mermin合著的固態物理教科書是該領域的標準教材。自1997年以來，他一直是美國國家科學院的成員。

N. David Mermin是康奈爾大學的名譽物理學教授。他曾獲得美國物理學會的Lilienfeld獎和美國物理學教師協會的Klopsteg獎。他是美國國家科學院和美國藝術與科學學院的成員。Mermin教授數十年來一直在量子基礎問題上進行研究，以其科學著作的清晰和機智而聞名。他的其他著作包括《固態物理學》（與N. W. Ashcroft合著，Thomson Learning 1976）、《通過所有的Boojums》（劍橋大學出版社1990）和《時間問題：理解愛因斯坦的相對論》（普林斯頓大學出版社2005）。
