IXth International Conference on the Physics of Non-Crystalline Solids; Tucson, AZ; October 17-21, 1999

第九届非晶态固体物理学国际会议的目标是将来自不同科学和工程学科的一些人聚集在一起，分享关于非晶态材料物理学的最新成果和一般信息。一些美国和国外的杰出科学家将齐聚一堂，讨论无定形状态的问题。会议将是高度跨学科的，并将介绍材料、行为和性能的理论和实践方面。这次会议将在其范围的广度和如此多样化的调查小组的聚集方面相当独特。因此，人们期待着从几个不同科学学科的领导人的思想融合中产生新的见解。将涵盖的主要主题包括玻璃转变、松弛行为、成核和晶化、计算机模拟、金属玻璃、无定形聚合物、输运现象、玻璃结构、光学过程和光学玻璃、不混溶和调幅节点分解以及断裂。为指导本次大会的组织，并成立了国际咨询委员会。会议将由邀请和贡献的演讲和海报演示组成。预计将有125人参加会议。计划在一期《非晶态固体杂志》上发表大部分演讲。此外，会议记录将由爱思唯尔出版。为了吸引学生和年轻的研究人员参加会议，已经做出了特别的努力。国际非晶态固体物理会议每四年举行一次。本次会议的成果为这一日益重要的技术领域的持续活力提供了催化剂。*

9903468WeinburgThe objective of the IXth International Conference on the Physics of Non-Crystalline Solids is to bring together a number of individuals from quite diverse scientific and engineering disciplines to share recent results and general information regarding the physics of amorphous materials. Some the outstanding scientists in the U.S. and abroad will gather to discuss problems of the amorphous state. The meeting will be highly interdisciplinary and both theoretical and practical aspects of materials behavior and properties will be presented. The conference will be quite unique in terms of its breadth of scope and assemblage of such a diverse group of investigators. As a result, new insights to arise from the melding of ideas from the leaders of several diverse scientific disciplines is anticipated. The primary topics to be covered include the glass transition, relaxation behavior, nucleation and crystallization, computer simulations, metallic glasses, amorphous polymers, transport phenomena, glass structure, optical processes and optical glasses, immiscibility and spinodal decomposition, and fracture. To guide the organization of this conference, and international advisory committee has been assembled. The meeting will consist of invited and contributed talks and poster presentations. It is anticipated that 125 people will attend the meeting. Publication of most of the presentations in an issue of the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids is planned. In addition, the conference proceedings will be published by Elsevier. A special effort has been made to attract students and young researchers to the meeting. %%%The International Conference on the Physics of Non-Crystalline Solids is held every four years. The results of this meeting provide a catalyst for continued vigor in this area of increasing technological importance.***
