Session on "New Directions in Glass Structure and Dynamics"; at the Glass and Optical Materials Division Fall Meeting; Pittsburgh, PA; October 13-16, 2002

玻璃和光学材料部门将于2002年10月13日至16日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行秋季会议，并组织了一次特别会议(包括午餐会)。我们的目标是让尽可能多的来自美国和世界其他地区的国家实验室和大学的开拓性玻璃科学家参加这次会议。会议有几个方面：a)科学：玻璃研究领域的新想法和建模概述：这将就建模在实验研究中的价值向研究人员提供指导)指导：以特邀演讲者的形式提供指导：妇女榜样。C)传播：会议报告中所载的信息将以《物理学杂志》的审阅特别版的形式向该领域的研究人员传播。d)午餐会：报告将侧重于国际机会和职业问题。会议将通过汇集各种不同的学科和观点来激发兴趣、讨论和想法。科学会议涵盖的主题将引起DMR社区对材料理论、凝聚态物理和陶瓷领域的兴趣。午餐会谈将具有更广泛的吸引力；感兴趣的人应该在Argonne NAT联系杰基·约翰逊。实验室。(jaj2@anl.gov)

A special session (including a luncheon) has been organized by the Glass & Optical Materials Division Fall Meeting, Pittsburgh, PA (http://www.acers.org/meetings/GlassFallMeet/glass.asp) to be held October 13-16, 2002. The goal is to bring as many pioneering glass scientists as possible from National Labs and Universities in the USA and other parts of the world to this meeting. There are several aspects to the session: a) Science: New ideas in the area of glass research and an overview of modeling: this will give guidance to the researchers as to the value of modeling in experimental researchb) Mentoring: Women role models in the form of invited speakers. c) Dissemination: The information contained in conference presentation will be disseminated to researchers in this field in the form of a refereed special edition of J. of Phys., Condensed Matter.d) Luncheon: The presentations will focus on international opportunities and career issues. The session will stimulate interest, discussion and ideas by bringing together a variety of different disciplines and outlooks. Topics covered in the scientific session will be of interest to the DMR community in the areas of materials theory, condensed matter physics and ceramics. The luncheon talks will have a broader appeal; interested persons should contact Jackie Johnson at Argonne Nat. Lab. (jaj2@anl.gov)
