28—31 August 1979

17—21 September 1979

International Conference on Layered Materials and Intercalates, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. An International Conference on the physics and chemistry of layered materials and intercalates is being held under the sponsorship of: North Atlantic Treaty Organization; Koninklijke Shell-Laboratorium (Amsterdam); Exxon and the Faculty of Science, University of Nijmegen. The focus of the conference will be on electronic properties lattice instabilities of transition metal dichalcogenides, graphite and their intercalates. Battery applications will also be stressed,

Third Europhysics Topical Conference on Lattice Defects in Ionic Crystals, Canterbury, Kent, England. The Third Europhysics Topical Conference on Lattice Defects in Ionic Crystals will be held at the University of Kent at Canterbury from the 17th to the 21st of September, 1979. This is the third in a series of conferences whose aim is to bring together workers in various fields of lattice defects in ionic materials. The programme will consist of invited lectures and contributed papers. The conference proceedings will be published in a special issue of Journal de Physique. The topics to be covered at this meeting will include: Structural and Dynamical Aspects of Defects Colour Centres, Transport Processes, Dislocations, Radiation Damage, Surfaces, Gross Defects, Mixed Crystals and Phase Transitions. A particular emphasis will be placed on the manner in which the various phenomena impinge upon one another. Contributions involving novel or less conventional experimental techniques will be particularly welcome.

Information: Dr. H.W. Myron, International Conference on Layered Materials and Intercalates, Faculty of Science, University of Nijmegen, Toernooiveld, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. 3—7 September 1979 International Conference on Magnetism (ICM’79), Munich, West Germany. The ICM’79 succeeds the Amsterdam Conference of 1976 in a series of triennial IUPAP conferences, which are designed to provide a reliable survey of the most important developments of magnetism and its principal applications around the world during the previous three years. The scope of the scientific program comprises fundamental and applied magnetism research as well as interdisciplinary subjects. The program will be presented in parallel sessions opened by invited reviews and by invited reports. Contributed papers will be given in parallel oral and poster sessions. The conference proceedings will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials within six months of the conference. Further information and abstract forms for contributed papers may be obtained in form of the Second Announcement (December 1978) from:

Information: Dr. J.H. Strange, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Europhysics Topical Conference, Physics Laboratory, The University, Canterbury, Kent CT2 7NR, England. 24—27 September 1979 International Con/erence on Non-Tiuditional Approaches to the Solid Electrolyte Interface, Snowmass, Colorado, U.S.A. This international conference wifi address the understanding and application of newly developed theoretical concepts and unconventional experimental techniques which are being used to study interfacial surface. A directed effort is being made to attract related area specialists in both physics and chemistry whose expertise and insight would be valuable. ~f n ormation. Dr. T. Furtak,
