Scope

The functional properties of various materials are attributable to the synergistic effects between the matrix and dopants. Thus, the science of defects has significantly progressed. However, as long as the dopant is used as a point defect, there is a limit to the functional properties that can be achieved. On the other hand, ordered atomic arrangements in non-crystalline systems, such as topological regularity in network structures, solvation complex, and dopant aggregation, often govern the properties of glasses and melts. We refer to such “disorder in order / order within disorder” as “hyperordered structures”. Currently, the relationship between these two concepts is becoming increasingly apparent because of recent advances in materials synthesis, atomic-level characterization, and theoretical calculations. Synchrotron radiation and neutrons have been widely used to study these hyperordered structures. The UK also has accelerator experimental facilities such as Diamond Light Source and ISIS. In this meeting, we would like to discuss future collaboration with distinguished researchers in the UK.
