Abstract

Abstract The Quasielastic Neutron Scattering workshop, held at Miramar Palace, San Sebastian, Basque Country (Spain) on September 26–28, 1993, was a natural continuation of the series started at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor, UK in 1992. There it was decided to establish periodic discussion forums to maintain the community in close contact during these years of scarcity of neutrons. Contrary to other techniques involving either diffraction or triple axis spectroscopy, quasielastic neutron scattering has been specially affected by the dearth of dedicated instruments, which has resulted in an over-subscription several times higher than that affecting the rest of the sub-specialties (about six times more time demanded than available at high resolution spectrometers such as IRIS at the ISIS pulsed source). Under such circumstances it was reassuring to test the vitality of the field, as was clear from the contributions where new results regarding topics akin to applications in Condensed Matter or Material Sciences (Liquid and Amorphous semiconductors, Liquid Metals and Molten Salts, Orientational and Structural Glasses and Crystal-Field Excitations), Chemical Physics of Complex Systems (Polymers andColloids, Inclusion Compounds) and Biophysics (dynamics of Proteins and Complex Biological Materials).
