MRS Fall Meeting MRS Symposium R: Radiation Effects and Ion Beam Processing of Materials Radiation with energetic beams or ion implantation can produce dramatic improvements or degradation in the properties of materials. An understanding of the microstructural changes occurring during irradiation is critical for the development of predictive models. The scope of this symposium will cover both microstructural and property changes occurring in solids during energetic ion, electron, neutron, or gamma-ray irradiation. This symposium, which is the seventh in a series of MRS symposia held every two years in the past until 2000, is intended to bring together researchers working on radiation effects in different material systems. Materials of interest include metals, intermetallics, semiconductors, insulators, and superconductors. Both experimental and theoretical studies are solicited, with a particular emphasis on linking state-of-the-art modeling with most recent experimental observations. Specific topics where contributions are encouraged include: ·
Advanced techniques for defect characterization Invited speakers include: R. Birtcher (Argonne National Lab), G. Dollinger (Technische Univ. München, Germany), R. Ewing (Univ. of Michigan), J. Fassbender (Univ. Kaiserslautern, Germany), J. Hirvonen (Army Research Lab), K. Jones (Univ. of Florida), N. Kishimoto (National Inst. of Materials Science, Japan), S. Matsumura (Kyushu Univ., Japan), A. Meldrum (Univ. of Alberta, Canada), W. Moeller (Forschungszentrum Rossendorf, Germany), K. Nordlund (Univ. of Helsinki, Finland), K.
