4--7 July 1977 Sixth International Conference on Internal Friction and Ultrasonic Attenuation in Solids, Tokyo, Japan. The purpose of the conference is to further the science concerned with the dissipation of energy mechanical vibrations in crystalline and amorphous solids over the entire range of attainable frequencies. Phenomena and mechanisms of dissipation on energy involving electrons, phonons, phase transitions or transformations, magnetic effects, point defects, impurity atoms, dislocations, grain boundaries are main topics of the Conference. Besides, some related fields as physics of phonon echoes, physics of surface waves, physics of acoustic emission, basic sciences on nondestructive testing, and so on will be included. Information: Prof. R.R. Hasiguit, Faculty of Engineering, Science University of Tokyo. Kagurazaka, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162, Japan. 6—8 July 1977 International Conference on Hot Electrons in Semiconductors, Denton, Texas, U.S.A. The purpose of the conference is to bring together scientists interested in all aspects of hot or nonequilibrium carriers in semiconductors. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum in which topics of current interest and importance can be discussed. Invited and contributed papers will be presented in the following areas: (1) bulk transport phenomena. (2) surface and interface transport phenomena, (3) device behavior phenomena, and (4) photo-excitation phenomena (particularly with lasers). The exact topics of the sessions, the invited speakers, and the contributed papers will be decided by a committee composed of international scientists working in the area of hot or non-equilibrium electrons in semiconductors. Abstracts must be received by March 1, 1977 and should conform to rules as found in the Bulletin of the American Physical Society. Conference proceedings
Dr. David G. Seller, Department of Physics, North Texas State University, Denton, Texas 76203, U.S.A. 17—30 July 1977 Path Integrals and their Applications in Quantum Statistical and Solid State Physics. University of Antwerpen (RUCA), Belgium. This international advanced study institute is sponsored by NATO. The topics of general Path Integral theory include: concepts, methods of evaluation, illustrating applications. The applications include Brownian motion fluctuations, noise, disordered systems, polymers, many-body systems and field theory. Information: Prof. Dr. J.T. Devreese, Leerstoel Toegepaste Wiskunde voor de Wetenschappen, R.U.C.A., Groenenborgerlaan 171. B-2020 Antwerpen, Belgium l0—20 August 1977 International Conference on Thennoelectricity in Metallic Conductors. The conference is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. The conference will include review papers by outstanding authorities, and contributed papers, which are hereby solicited, on the following topics: thermopowers of crystalline pure metals and alloys (including transition metals); effects of anisotropic relaxation times; many body effects in thermoelectricity; effects of a magnetic field; thermopower at ultra-low temperatures; thermopower near critical points; thermoelectric effects in superconductors; liquid metals, and amorphous metals; thermopower in dilute magnetic alloys and in quasi onedimensional conductors. Deadline for contributed papers is May 15, 1977. Information:
