European Physical Society—Condensed Matter Divisional Conference
Vacuum News A second notice and call for papers will be issued in May 1976. Enquiries about the conference should be sent to the Conference Organiser, Dr D P Woodruff, Department of Physics, University of Warwick, Coventry, Warwickshire CV4 7AL.
European Physical Society--Condensed Matter Divisional Conference The Solid State Physics Sub-Committee of The Institute of Physics is arranging a European Physical Society--Condensed Matter Divisional Conference at the University of Leeds from 26-29 July 1977. The conference will have a dual theme--Molecular Solids/Electron Transport. This notice is made to ensure inclusion in diaries and calendars of meetings. A further notice and call for papers will be issued in July 1976.
T h e O p e r a t i o n o f I n s t r u m e n t s in A d v e r s e Environments A two day non-residential conference on 'The Operation of Instruments in Adverse Environments' is to be held in London on the 4-5 October 1976. The conference is being sponsored jointly by the Materials end Testing Group of The Institute of Physics and The Institute of Measurement and Control. Instrumentation performs the vital information gathering role in many key areas from process control in industry to fundamental scientific research and as the general level of technology rises and new environments are explored and exploited the instrumentation specialist is continually required to make measurements in increasingly hostile operating conditions. The conference will look at the problems currently posed for both the designers and the users of instrumentation by a wide range of these adverse environments, and preference will be given in the proceedings to those papers thought to make a significant practical contribution to the making of measurements in such conditions.
The purpose of the meeting is to inform participants of the present state of scanning electron transmission microscopy, either as attachments to conventional TEM's or SEM's or as purpose-built instruments. The majority of the meeting will be taken up by invited speakers, but there will be a small amount of time for contributions. Invited speakers will include : Professor Burge (Queen Elizabeth College, London) ; Dr Ray (AEI, Scientific Apparatus Division) ; Dr Langmore (MRC, Cambridge) ; Dr Willasch (Siemens AG) ; Dr Swift (Unilever). Conference Secretary: K Anderson, AEI, Scientific Apparatus Division, Barton Dock Road, Urmston, Manchester. Microanalytical Techniques The Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group of The Institute of Physics is arranging a conference on Microanalytical techniques to be held at the University of Liverpool on 22-24 September 1976. There are now a considerable number of physical techniques capable of providing analysis from small areas of a specimen (less than 20/~m in diameter and the object of this meeting is to bring together workers using these different techniques. The emphasis of the meeting will be on recent developments and on quantitative analysis. Techniques to be covered will include X-ray microanalysis in both the SEM and the TEM, auger emission spectroscopy, transmission energy loss analysis, imaging secondary ion mass spectroscopy, proton and other nuclear micro-beam techniques. It is planned to have a number of invited papers reviewing the current state of the various techniques in addition to contributed papers. Enquiries about contributions should be addressed to the Conference Secretary, Dr H E Bishop, Materials Development Division, Building 338.4, AERE Harwell, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RA. Further details will be available in the spring of 1976 from the Meetings Officer ,The Institute of Physics, 47 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8QX.
The four major sessions of the conference will be introduced by papers from invited speakers and it is hoped that these and the contributed papers will stimulate discussion and the exchange of views and ideas between the designers, users and manufacturers of instrumentation attending.
The Fourth Symposium
One major session will deal with the offshore and marine environments which are currently of such great interest, while other sessions will include papers on humid and corrosive environments, space, extremes of temperature, high radiation fluxes (nuclear and e-m), dusty and flammable conditions, shock and vibration.
Scope:
Offers of contributions should be sent to the Conference Secretary: J Knight, Royal Aircraft Establishment, Bramshot Golf House, Fleet, Aldershot, Hants, UK, not later than 1 July 1976 and should include an outline of 300-500 words which will be reproduced in the Conference Handbook. The full proceedings of the conference will be published and issued to all those attending at a later date.
In vited speakem:
Further details of the conference programme and registration forms will be available in due course from : The Meetings Officer, The Institute of Physics, 47 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8QX.
