Discussion Meeting
The Metal-Non Metal Transition in
Macroscopic and Microscopic Systems
The Royal
Society

Carlton House Terrace
London, SW1Y 5AG
5-6 March 1997
Synopsis
During the past decade, the study of the Metal-Non Metal Transition has
re-emerged as one of the central themes and challenges in condensed
matter science, with a number of exciting experimental and theoretical
developments. In light of the continuing interest in this field, and also recognising that there is
still much to learn and understand about this fundamental and
fascinating area of science, this meeting will provide a forum for the discussion of Metal-Non Metal
Transitions in systems as diverse as solid ceramics, liquids, expanded metals and clusters.
Topics
Clusters
Doped Semiconductors
Expanded Metals
General Features of MNM Transitions
High Pressure
Liquids
Magnetism
Oxides
Superconductivity
