Summer Programs

A special program in experimental solid‐state physics will be offered from June 24 through July 26 by the Electrical Engineering and Metallurgy Departments of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Intended primarily for faculty members in the materials‐science area who wish to obtain first‐hand experimental experience, the course will deal with x‐ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, galvanomagnetic effects, excess carriers in semiconductors, crystal growth, ferroelectricity, thermal properties, superconductivity, and the Mössbauer effect. In addition to laboratory work, the program will include background lectures, references to selected literature, and tours of solid‐state laboratories at MIT. Further information and application blanks can be obtained from Professor Arthur C. Smith, Experimental Solid State Program, Room 10–079, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge 39, Mass. Applications should be returned by April 15.
