Title: International Symposium on Non-Oxide and New Optical Glasses

Abbreviated: ISNOG

First Year: 1994

Introduction: ISNOG aims at dealing with the synthesis, processing, characterization, modelling and physical properties of novel non-oxide, hybrids and optically transparent glasses with high technological impact potential.The intended event of the present kind provides a great opportunity for chemists, physicists, device engineers and technologists to conglo-merate and share the ideas, solutions and issues related to the crucial role played by these materials in the cutting edge technologies.The proposed program is scheduled for five days, enabling the participants to have unstinting exchange of their ideas through active participation and contri-butions.

Preliminary list of topics to be covered

Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Glasses (bulk and film)

Oxide optical glasses

Non-oxide glasses

Glass ceramics, nano/micro crystals composites

Inorganic/organic hybrid materials

Computer simulation and modeling

Applications of bulk glasses and films

Photonic, optical and optoelectronic materials (optical properties, photo induced effects, fibres, planar waveguides, non-linear effects in optical glasses)

Memories (phase changes, PMC, ovonic materials)

Sensors (chemical…)
