Comment/Description

Glasses belong to the oldest materials used by mankind. Nowadays glasses are materials of paramount technological importance and almost ubiquitous in our daily live, not only in the classical fields (e.g., windows, bottles), but also in more recent applications as, e.g., communication technique (optical fibres) or energy storage (ionic conductors in batteries). Despite a long history of glass research, the transition from the liquid to the glassy state of matter still is considered as one of the great unresolved problems of condensed matter physics. In the present seminar, some advanced topics of modern glass physics and materials science shall be treated.

Topics:

Relaxation phenomena: alpha- and beta-relaxation and their theoretical explanations
Fast processes: experiment and theory
Microscopic models of the glass transition
Aging phenomena in glasses
Non-structural glasses: Model systems for the glass transition
Mechanisms of ionic conductivity
Electrons in glasses
Low-temperature anomalies and tunneling model
