The Institute for Amorphous Studies was founded in 1982 as the
international center for the investigation of amorphous mate rials.
It has since played an important role in promoting the und er
standing of disordered matter in general. An Institute lecture
series on "Fundamentals of Amorphous Materials and Devices" was
held during 1982-83 with distinguished speakers from universities
and industry. These events were free and open to the public, and
were attended by many representatives of the scientific community.
The lectures themselves were highly successful inasmuch as they
provided not only formal instruction but also an opportunity for
vigorous and stimulating debate. That last element could not be
captured within the pages of a book I but the lectures concentrated
on the latest advances in the field I which is why their essential
contents are he re reproduced in collective form. Together they
constitute an interdisciplinary status report of the field. The
speakers brought many different viewpoints and a variety of back
ground experiences io bear on the problems involved I but though
language and conventions vary I the essential unity of the concerns
is very clear I as indeed are the ultimate benefits of the
many-sided approach."
