ON THE COVER: Combinatorial Materials Science. (clockwise from upper left) Photoluminescent image of a 1024-member phosphor "library" made by binary masking schemes under UV illumination. (upper right) Terraced topography of an ordered diblock- copolymer film of polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS/PMMA) with a film-thickness gradient cast on a silicon substrate for high-throughput determination of surface morphology and ordering properties of block copolymers. Color variations reflecting quantized lamellae thickness increments are defined by the diblock's molecular parameters, such as chain length and preferential interactions of PMMA and PS at the substrate and air surface, respectively. (Image provided by A.P. Smith of NIST.) (lower right) A diffusion multiple made up of Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, and Cr. A diffusion multiple is an assembly of three or more different metal blocks, in intimate interfacial contact, that is subjected to a high temperature to allow thermal interdiffusion. This approach allows the efficient mapping of phase diagrams and materials properties for multicomponent alloy systems. Ten ternary phase diagrams were mapped from this single sample; it could take more than a thousand alloys to map these diagrams by conventional means. (lower left) Room-temperature magnetic continuous phase diagram of a 250-Å Co-Mn-Ge sample grown on Ge(001) by molecular-beam epitaxy at 150°C and annealed at 350°C. See the technical theme that begins on p. 295.
