Research On Crystal Growth And Characterization At The National Bureau Of Standards January To June 1964

A wide program of studies involving crystalline materials includes investigation of methods and theory of growth, study of detection and effects of defects, determination of physical properties, refinement of ch * emical analysis, and determination of stability relations and atomic structure.The types of materials range from organic compounds, through metals, and inorganic salts to refractory oxides.(Author).

The National Bureau of Standards is continuing diverse research projects on the growth and characterization of crystals.This note summarizes the individual NBS activities in this and closely related fie lds during January to July 1963. Lists of NBS publications appertaining to that period and of participating NBS scientists are appended.(Author).

Excerpt from Research on Crystal Growth and Characterization at the National Bureau of Standards January to June 1964 This is the fourth biannual report on crystal research at the National Bureau of Standards. The three preceeding ones have been pub lished as nbs Technical Notes and 236. These publications present the background of the nbs effort in this area. Much of the work described here is carried out with the support of the Advanced Research Projects Agency. In anticipation of future technological demands in crystal and material science, arpa is encouraging the nbs to study the techniques and theory of crystal growth, to characterize precisely the crystals produced by various methods, and to extend precision measurement to physical and chemical properties of crystals. The Bureau' s own pro gram in many aspects of this field is extensive and no effort is made in the research descriptions below to separate the two efforts.0n1y in the few instances in which financial support from other agencies contributed to the program.is an acknowledgement given.
