A program in experimental solid‐state physics will be offered from June 22 to July 24 by the Metallurgy and Electrical Engineering Departments of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, under the direction of Professors Simon C. Moss and Roy Kaplow. Intended primarily for faculty members in the materials sciences who wish to obtain first‐hand experimental experience, the course will deal with x‐ray diffraction, crystal growth, infrared spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, galvanomagnetic effects, excess carriers in semiconductors, 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 several solid‐state experimental facilities at MIT. Limited funds will be available for the support of participants and their families. Further information and application blanks can be obtained from Professor Roy Kaplow, Room 16–502, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 39, Mass. The deadline for receipt of applications is April 15.
