GOMD 2023 Technical Program

SYMPOSIUM 1: FUNDAMENTALS OF THE GLASSY STATE

This symposium will provide a discussion forum on fundamental principles of glass science. Contributions covering experimental and theoretical developments in the field of glass science are welcome. Topics of interest include novel developments in the following sessions.

• Glass Formation and Structural Relaxation
• Glass Crystallization and Glass-Ceramics
• Structural Characterizations of Glasses and Melts
• Atomistic Simulation and Predictive Modeling of Glasses
• Data-based Modeling and Machine Learning for Glass Science
• Mechanical Properties of Glasses
• Non-Oxide Glasses, MOF-Glasses, and Glass-Ceramics
• Glass Under Extreme Conditions

SYMPOSIUM 2: GLASS AND INTERACTIONS WITH ITS ENVIRONMENT – FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

This symposium is dedicated to fundamentals and applications of how glass is used in contact with specific environments, e.g., with the human body, how glass surface and interfaces evolve or can be modified in different environments, and how glass can be used to contain other materials and prevent their release in the environment.

• Glasses, Glass-Ceramics, and Glass-based Biomaterials
• Dissolution and Interfacial Reactions
• Glass Surfaces, Interfaces,  and Coatings
• Materials for Waste Immobilization

SYMPOSIUM 3: OPTICAL AND ELECTRONIC MATERIALS AND DEVICES – FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

Optical and electronic materials and devices are of critical importance for applications, including sustainable energy, information technology, nonvolatile memory, sensing, medical diagnostics and treatment, and national defense. This symposium will address processing and properties of optical and electronic materials as well as design, fabrication, and performance of functional devices.

• Laser Interactions with Glasses
• Charge and Energy Transport in Disordered Materials
• Optical Fibers and Waveguides
• Optical and Optoelectronic Glass-based Devices
• Rare-earth and Transition Metal-doped Glasses and Ceramics for Photonic Applications

SYMPOSIUM 4: OUTREACH, GLASS TECHNOLOGY, MANUFACTURING, RECYCLING AND CROSS-CUTTING TOPICS

Glass can be engineered with a wide range of properties and in many different forms for both active and passive applications for current and emerging energy and environmental technologies. This symposium will draw an arc from the fundamental approaches (interplay of theory, modeling and experiment) via material properties (compositional influences and signatures) and their characterization (in-situ, ex-situ) to manufacturing (novel processing techniques). A further important component of this symposium is a session on outreach since this will allow to secure a substantial pool of future researchers on glass science.

• STEM Outreach
• Challenges in Glass Manufacturing
• Optical Fabrication Science & Technology
• Additive Manufacturing of Glass
• Recycling
