The Electronic Materials Committee of IMD announces its Eleventh Annual Technical Conference. The conference will include chemical and structural defects:

(a) in bulk materials, including epitaxially deposited layers.

(b) at interfaces,

(c) in insulating layers,

(d) in thin and thick films, and

(e) in p - n junctions, device and circuit structures.

8 -10 September - Grenoble

The physics of solids under pressure

An international colloquium on the physical properties of solids under pressure will be or- ganised by the National Center for Scientific Research (France). The program will consist of insulators, semiconductors and metals under pressure. Emphasis will be placed on magnetic properties, transport phenomena, electronic structures and phase transitions. The pro- ceedings of the colloquium will be published later by the National Center for Scientific Re- search in book form.

This colloquium will be under the chairman- ship of Professor L. Neel. Attendance at the colloquium w'ill be by invitation.

des communications et des discussions sur les proprietes physiques des isolants, des semi-con- ducteurs et des mitaux sous pression. L’accent

sera mis sur les proprietis magnitiques, les phenomines de transport, les structures elec- troniques, les problemes de changement de phase. Les actes du colloque feront I’objet d’une publi-

cation. Ce colloque, qui se tiendra sous la pre-

sidence d’honneur du Professeur L. N&el, aura lieu sur invitatio:n.

6-8 October

tivity wiil be held at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, under the auspices of the Ames

Laboratory of the U.S. Atomic Energy Com-

mission (located at Iowa State University).

The conference will be concerned with all

aspects of thermal transport in solids, liquids

and gases, and will include papers on experi-

mental and theoretical studies of heat conduction, measurement techniques, standard reference

materials and data on materials of general interest.
