Applications of Synchrotron Techniques in Glass Research

The Workshop introduced the glass community to the synchrotron techniques that are currently available and prepare it for the future opportunities enabled by NSLS II. NSLS_Daffodils_hires.tifThe Workshop also nucleated the formation of a glass synchrotron research consortium that will promote the funding, construction, and operation of synchrotron end station instrumentation optimized for glass research. Synchrotron-based techniques provide important tools for both basic and applied materials research.

Relaxation Processes in Glasses and Polymers

New Multi Instructional Team Teaching (M.I.T.T) Glass Course. This interactive web-based glass course offered participants the opportunity to learn from leading experts from the US and abroad on glass via live lectures on the internet.

US-China Winter School on New Functionalities in Glass Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China

The goal of the US-China Winter School on New Functionalities in Glass was to expose interested students to the crucial role played by glasses in the cutting-edge applications of today, and the emerging technologies of the future. The successful candidates learned about the newest frontiers in glass science and technology, and their potential contributions in energy, healthcare, defense and telecommunications.

A mini Interactive Web Course on CHALCOGENIDE GLASSES

This course will be taught during the Spring semester of 2011. It will provide a broad overview of chalcogenide glasses, which are a technologically important, high-tech sub-class of inorganic glasses that exhibit numerous unusual properties not found in common (oxide) glasses. The course will focus on distinctive characteristics (structure and properties) of chalcogenide glasses and how they lead to broad range of existing and potential applications in photonics, electronics, ionics, etc.

A mini Interactive Web Course on GLASS in ENERGY

This course will be offered during the Spring Semester of 2012. It will provide an overview of the use of glass in different applications in the field of energy. It will start with a general introduction to the fabrication process and most relevant properties of glass, followed by a review of the specific energy domains where glass is currently applied or is expected to be used in the near future.

FUNCTIONAL GLASSES: Properties and Applications for Energy & Information.

This ECI (Engineering Conference International) conference will discuss recent advances in glass research as well as identify the requirements that glass must satisfy for new and emerging applications. It will focus especially on energy and information technologies in which glass is expected to have a large impact in the near future.

Atomistic Modeling of Glass Structure & Glass Properties Fall Semester 2013

This course provides a comprehensive introduction into atomistic modeling of glass structure and properties by concentrating on basic phenomenological models and numerical atomic-scale simulations. Students will gain experience needed to tackle modern challenges in glass science through theoretical modeling and computer-guided investigations of glass properties under ordinary or extreme conditions. The general framework of the art of molecular simulations, from statistical mechanics to linear response theory and their use in molecular dynamics (MD) will be described.
