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).

尼爾·W·阿什克羅夫特是一位英國的固態物理學家。阿什克羅夫特於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，研究金屬的費米面。獲得博士學位後，阿什克羅夫特在芝加哥大學和康奈爾大學進行博士後研究，並於1975年成為教授。1990年，他被任命為霍勒斯·懷特物理學教授，並於2006年獲得名譽教授身份。他曾擔任康奈爾大學原子與固態物理實驗室的主任（1979-1984）、康奈爾材料研究中心的主任（1997-2000），以及高能同步輻射源的副主任（1990-1997）。在1986年至1987年間，他擔任美國物理學會凝聚態物理部門的負責人。他與N. 大衛·梅爾敏共同撰寫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·大衛·梅爾敏是康奈爾大學的霍勒斯·懷特名譽物理學教授。他曾獲得美國物理學會的莉莉恩費爾德獎和美國物理教師協會的克洛普斯特獎。他是美國國家科學院和美國藝術與科學學院的成員。梅爾敏教授在量子基礎問題上撰寫了數十年的文章，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》（與N. W. 阿什克羅夫特合著，湯姆森學習，1976年）、《布朱姆斯全過程》（劍橋大學出版社，1990年）和《時間的意義：理解愛因斯坦的相對論》（普林斯頓大學出版社，2005年）。
