Abstract
QENS 2002, organized from September 4–7, 2002 in Potsdam by Ruep Lechner, Amaud Desmedt, Thomas Gutberlet, and Jorg Pieper of Hahn-Meitner-Institut Berlin, was the sixth meeting of an international conference series on dynamic structure research of complex systems using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). QENS 2002 focused on disordered condensed matter, including plastic and liquid crystals, ionic conductors, inclusion compounds, glasses, polymers, liquids, melts, solutions, micro-emulsions, micelles, artificial and biological membranes, proteins, and DNA. An effort was made to bring together results, not only from QENS techniques, but also from light scattering, NMR, dielectric spectroscopy, as well as Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulation, whenever such results could be related with those from QENS experiments.
