✦ Synopsis

The Symposium invited active reseachers at the new frontiers of thermal studies of materials, without any further restrictions, and thus a variety of topics on new functional materials such as high temperature superconductors, solid state ionics, fullerenes, and other inorganic and organic substances were discussed on the basis of new experimental techniques and theoretical approaches. The relationship between structure and the physicochemical properties, especially on phase transition and glass transition mechanisms, was stressed.

The 130 delegates from all parts of Japan, and from overseas, gathered at the 80th Anniversary Memorial Center at Nagatsuta Campus of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. In total, 58 papers (oral or poster) were presented.
