- Abstract
- This book is based on the prcoeedings of the 10th Materials Research Symposium, held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, September 18-22, 1978. The symposium was sponsored by the National Measurement Laboratory (formerly Institute for Materials Research). Modern technology increasingly requires materials and processes to function at high temperatures--a condition where the vapor, gaseous or plasma phase becomes significant. Characterization of such atmospheres, or components thereof, is a challenging problem requireing adaptation of exising and development of new experimental and theoretical techniques. The aim of the symposium was to assess the state-of-the-art and future directions and characteriazation methods for high temperature vapors including, where appropriate, gases and, to a lesser extent, plasmas. In order to prevent, as fas as possible, serious omissions of important new or improved techniques, a number of papers not delivered at the Symposium were solicited for inclusion in this publication. A total of eighty-six papers (invited and contributed) or chapters representing nine countries are contained in these volumes. The discussion, which followed most of the delivered papers, is also included.
