on Materials Research at Gorakhpur,
India
It is my pleasure to testify the merits of National Symposium On Materials Research held in DDU Gorakhpur University, (UP) India. Tremendous progress has been made in the area of crystal growth in the past century. From the discovery of constitutional supercooling concept of science by Bruce Chalmers and his co-workers to technology concept of liquid encapsulated crystal growth by Brian Mullin (UK) and R.Mazelsky (USA), and applications in developing new products are classic examples of developments. With increasing performance requirements of devices and systems, materials and bulk and thin films of very complex materials are needed. We have reached to the stage where data on the synthesis of high purity complex source materials, thermal electrical and optical properties are needed to grow fabricate and utilize single crystals for commercial and industrial applications. Most of the conferences and journal papers are lacking in reporting this aspect of materials. The National Symposium on Materials at DDU Gorakhpur focused on the preparation, purification and characterization of materials for thermal, electrical, optical, nuclear properties. The two very distinguished teachers, researchers and organizers; Prof. N. B. Singh, Head Chemistry Department, and Dr. Shiva Saran Das, Reader, Chemistry Department put forward very nice programs on materials synthesis and characterization. Both organizers have published extensively in the materials area. Prof. N. B. Singh has honour of Alexander von Humboldt Fellow and visited many countries including Germany, Belgium, France and Holland. Since Prof. Das is my class fellow and Prof. Singh is my teacher, this conference was very special to many students like me who graduated from the Chemistry Department. The presence and active participation of Prof. R. P. Rastogi, Ex Head of Chemistry Department, and Ex Vice Chancellor, Banaras Hindu University brought the four generations of researchers together and enhanced the quality of the symposium. The papers of the proceedings reflect variety of techniques for synthesis and characterization of materials suitable for thermal, electrical, optical, nuclear and structural applications.
