Defects in Crystals Symposium, February 16-19, 1998, San Antonio, TX

本次研讨会的主题是晶体中的缺陷，包括以下子主题：位错和晶界，固体中的蒸发和冷凝，以及固体中相变的动力学。这些重点领域特别及时，并与约翰·赫斯教授的许多贡献相一致，他在本次研讨会上获得了荣誉。研讨会旨在讨论晶体固体中缺陷的理论和应用的新发展，并就该主题的研究新方向进行交流和讨论。这项支助用于向学生合著者提供旅费补助，并协助支付外国演讲者的旅费。材料的性能在一定程度上取决于加工过程中形成的结构缺陷的类型和分布。本次研讨会将着重探讨这一主题的理论和模型。＊＊＊

9728859 Scott The general topic of this symposium, defects in crystals, is comprised of the subtopics: dislocations and grain boundaries, evaporation and condensation in solids, and the kinetics of phase transformations in the solid state. These emphasis areas are particularly timely and consistent with the many contributions of Professor John Hirth, who is honored in this symposium. The symposium is designed as a forum for the discussion of new developments in theory and applications involving defects in crystalline solids, and the exchange of ideas and a discussion of new directions for research on this topic. The support is for travel grants to student co-authors and assists in travel costs for foreign speakers. %%% The properties of materials depend in part on the type and distribution of defects that have been incorporated into structure during processing. This symposium explores this subject with an emphasis on theory and modeling. ***
