Symposium Z Bulk Metallic Glasses;Boston, MA; November 25-29, 2007.

技术：在过去的十年里，大块金属玻璃的基础研究和发展取得了快速的发展。材料已被开发用于民用、军事、生物医学、采矿、体育和结构应用。此外，理论和计算方面的努力有望揭示玻璃的形成、变形机制以及输运、相变、磁性、腐蚀、动态响应和断裂力学等基本现象。本项目是为2007年材料研究学会（MRS）秋季年会的一部分“大块金属玻璃研讨会Z”提供赞助。在本次研讨会上提出和讨论的研究将对金属领域的许多科学和技术目标具有重大的兴趣和相关性。本次研讨会是一个快速发展的研究和应用领域的重要事件，预计将有超过145个口头报告和海报。研讨会还将举办为期半天的大块金属玻璃材料表征教程。MRS秋季会议将于2007年11月25日至29日在波士顿举行。这是一个大型的国家和国际活动，有成千上万的研究人员参加。非技术性：大块金属玻璃的使用已经在许多关键工程和军事应用中证明了它们的革命性影响。本次研讨会的目的是提供一个论坛，就大块金属玻璃的发展、表征和制造大块金属玻璃和器件的新方法提供基本的新见解。这些发展可以导致新的和令人兴奋的应用程序。本次会议是MRS管理委员会为大块金属玻璃建立和商定的一系列会议之一。我们期待着许多关于进展和新见解的令人兴奋的报告。

TECHNICAL: The area of bulk metallic glasses has witnessed a fast growth in basic research and developments in the last ten years. Materials have been developed for civil, military, biomedicine, mining, sports, and structure applications. Besides, theoretical and computational efforts have been made that hold promises to uncover the mysteries in the glass formation, deformation mechanisms, and the basic phenomena in transport, phase transition, magnetic properties, corrosion, dynamic response, and fracture mechanics. This project is for sponsorship for Symposium Z on Bulk Metallic Glasses, which is part of the 2007 Annual Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall meeting. The research presented and discussed at this Symposium will be of significant interest and relevance to many scientific and technology goals in the area of Metals. This Symposium is a significant event in a rapidly developing research and application area, and more than 145 oral presentations and posters are expected. The symposium will also host a half day tutorial on Materials Characterization of Bulk Metallic Glasses. The MRS fall meeting is held in Boston on November 25-29, 2007. It is a large national and international event attended by thousands of researchers. NON-TECHNICAL: The use of bulk metallic glasses has been demonstrated in their revolutionary impacts on many key engineering and military applications. The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for communicating fundamentally new insights in bulk metallic glass developments, characterization, and novel approaches for fabrication of bulk metallic glasses and devices. These developments can then lead to new and exciting applications. This meeting is one of the series of meetings established and agreed upon by MRS governing committee for bulk metallic glasses. We anticipate many exciting reports on progresses and new insights.
