LAM14: Liquid and Amorphous Metals Conference
Rome, Italy, July 11-16, 2010
Chairmen: Tullio Scopigno, Andrea Di Cicco
Scientific Secretariat: F. Lupinacci
As in previous editions, the conference is devoted to liquid and amorphous metals, and to those nonmetallic systems which are traditionally hosted within the program (semi-conductors, molten salts, quasicrystals, etc.). We are planning also focused sessions to explore new horizons in the field of liquid and amorphous materials, with special emphasis on those which can be tackled with emerging techniques. These include the development of advanced radiation sources (synchrotrons, neutrons) for measurements of structural and dynamical properties of liquid, amorphous and colloidal phases; perspectives offered by novel fourth generation soft and hard x-ray sources for metals under extreme and/or highly metastable conditions; ultrafast techniques for studying phase transitions, chemical reactions and non-equilibrium states; ab-initio simulations of metals, alloys and nanosized systems.
