Fluctuations in solids

DEC 01, 1964
A Report on the Seventh Symposium
James J. Brophy

The seventh Fluctuations in Solids Symposium was held on May 22, 1964, at the University of Minnesota. Organized and hosted by A. van der Ziel and K. M. van Vliet, the informal one‐day meeting again provided a forum for those actively working in the field to discuss recent results and resolve current questions. The previous symposium took place in 1962. This year’s session was notable for its richness in diversity, ranging from laser noise to use of noise measurements to determine transistor h‐parameters.
