NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:This grant will support ten students, at the undergraduate and graduate level, to attend the Sixth International Conference on Borate Glasses, Crystals, and Melts. This triennial meeting will take place August 18-22, 2008 at Egret Himeji, Hyogo, Japan. These students, from several colleges and universities across the nation, will make presentations and be full participating members of the conference. There are a number of advantages for the American public that result from this activity. Borate glasses have manifold practical uses and improve our standard of living. Examples of this include dental implants that closely match natural teeth, safe radioactive waste storage within highly stable borosilicate glasses, and high lithium containing borate glasses that are excellent candidates for new generations of solid state battery materials. Students attending the meeting will be able to learn the latest advances within the field from scientists from over 20 nations.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:The technical content of the meeting will be well focused and timely. Papers will be presented on: Short and intermediate range order in borate glasses and melts; Structure and physical properties; Computer simulation and modeling; Phase separation and inhomogeneities; New spectroscopic techniques; EPR, XAFS, XPS, IR, NMR, and diffraction studies of borates; Novel borate glasses and crystals; Mineralogical crystals; Local thermal properties; Thermodynamics of borate systems; Industrial applications of borate and borosilicate glasses; Biomedical applications; Optical properties and materials; Superionic systems and ionic conductivity. In addition, before the conference, these students will visit the Spring8 Synchrotron Radiation Lab (a sponsor of the conference) and a modern Japanese Glass Company. Since the meeting will not have concurrent sessions the students will be able to fully immerse themselves in all aspects of the current science of borates. Furthermore, overall student participation is high making it likely that significant scientific dialogue will take place between the students we will bring and their counterparts from other nations.

非技术描述：这笔赠款将在本科和研究生层面上支持十名学生参加第六次国际酿酒师眼镜，水晶和融化会议。 这次三年展会议将于2008年8月18日至22日在日本Hyogo的Egret Himeji举行。 这些来自全国几所学院和大学的学生将进行演讲，并成为会议的全面参与成员。 这项活动为美国公众带来了许多优势。 硼酸盐眼镜具有多种实用用途，并改善了我们的生活水平。 例如，其中包括与天然牙齿紧密相匹配的牙科植入物，高度稳定的硼硅酸盐眼镜中的安全放射性废物存储，以及含有硼酸盐玻璃杯的高锂，这些玻璃是新一代固态电池材料的绝佳候选者。 参加会议的学生将能够从20多个国家的科学家那里学习该领域内的最新进展。技术描述：会议的技术内容将充分专注，及时。 论文将在：钻孔和融化中的短和中间范围顺序上；结构和物理特性；计算机模拟和建模；相位分离和不均匀性；新的光谱技术； EPR，XAFS，XPS，IR，NMR和硼酸盐的衍射研究；新型硼酸盐眼镜和晶体；矿物晶体；局部热特性；硼酸盐系统的热力学；硼酸盐和硼硅酸盐眼镜的工业应用；生物医学应用；光学特性和材料；超电子系统和离子电导率。 此外，在会议之前，这些学生将访问Spring8同步辐射实验室（会议的赞助商）和一家现代的日本玻璃公司。 由于会议将没有并发会议，因此学生将能够将自己完全沉浸在当前的硼酸盐科学的各个方面。 此外，总体学生的参与很高，因此我们将带来的学生与其他国家的学生之间可能会进行重大的科学对话。
