Significant advances have been made recently toward understanding the properties of materials through theoretical approaches. These approaches are based either on first-principles quantum mechanical formulations or semi- empirical formulations, and have benefitted from increases in computational power. The advent of parallel computing has propelled the theoretical approaches to a new level of realism in modeling physical systems of interest. The theoretical methods and simulation techniques that are currently under development ...

To review the current state of the field, a symposium entitled Defects in Glasses was held. For this symposium, a defect was any significant departure from the idealized continuous random network (CRN) model appropriate for the nominal chemical composition. A central theme was the nature of deviations or extensions from the (Zachariasen) CRN model in real glasses. The papers cover intrinsic or deliberately induced defects in the form of impurities ...

Authors: D. K. Biegelsen; G. A. Rozgonyi; C. V. Shank; MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY UNIVERSITY PARK PA

The symposium was devoted to those topical areas evolving from the subject of laser annealing. The material covered in this symposium has three distinct foci. First is the field of sub-microsecond (to femptosecond) interactions of energy beams with solids and the resultant material changes on similar time scales. Issues of energy transfer, internal equilibration, solid phase regrowth of amorphized layers, ultrarapid quenching of amorphous semiconductors dominate this topic. A second ...

Materials Research Society Symposia Proceedings. Volume 39. High- Temperature Ordered Intermetallic Alloys Held on November 26-28, 1984 at Boston, Massachusetts

Authors: C. C. Koch; C. T. Liu; N. S. Stoloff; MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY UNIVERSITY PARK PA

For several decades the special properties of ordered intermetallic alloys have intrigued alloy designers. In particular, the aluminides offered the potential for high temperature structural applications due to good strength combined with oxidation resistance. Attainment of this potential has been hampered by the brittle behavior and low fracture toughness of these materials. However, in recent years significant improvement in the ductility and toughness of, at first, titanium aluminides, then iron ...

The principal aim of the Symposium was to convene scientists from the diverse disciplines related to the electronic packaging technology. The original Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers set the theme and scope as follows: Improvements in electronic system include more complex packages to carry and interconnect semiconductor devices. As packages evolve from simple designs and parts into complicated multicomponent ones, the technology increasingly must draw support from multidisciplinary materials ...
