Free nuclear induction
Unusually clear measurements of the time precession of nuclear magnetic moments and other properties of nuclei have become possible with the development of the free induction “spin echo” technique in the still new science of nuclear magnetic resonance.
Dislocations and plastic deformation
Small and exceedingly rare defects in the structure of solids are the “weak links” that determine the strength of materials. The article reviews some fundamental concepts concerning plastic deformation in certain ductile metals.
