Extract

A one-day meeting was held in the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, on the theme of the ‘Structure and Dynamics of Silicate Glasses and Melts’. The meeting was sponsored by the Mineral Physics group of the Mineralogical Society, and was attended by ∼80 people. The objective of the meeting was to bring together experts from the glass community with members of the mineralogical community who are interested in glasses and melts. The scope of the talks considered structural details over length scales from nearest-neighbour coordinations up to 1–2 nm, and dynamics in both the slow relaxational and fast vibrational ranges. The talks also covered both experimental (particularly neutron scattering and NMR) and computer simulation methods.

The meeting was organized into three groups of themes, namely structure and dynamics in glasses, structure and dynamics in melts, and vibrational dynamics in glasses.
