Largest Issue of Journal of Materials Research Features Laser and Particle Beam Processing The 1988 November/December issue of journal of Materials Research is notably the largest JMR issue published in its remarkable three-year history. It contains nearly 400 pages of original research articles. Nearly half of this issue features articles on laser and particle beam processing of materials, an area of chemical and physical processes currently sparking great interest in interdisciplinary materials research. Laser and particle beam processing has been the focus of numerous MRS symposia during the last 10 years and includes materials processing with ion, electron, and laser beams in different modes and systems. jMR issued an invitation to authors to submit manuscripts on their new research results in this still-expanding field. More than 25 articles by researchers in prominent universities, laboratories, and corporations worldwide were eventually accepted for publication. Processing methods, analysis techniques, and new materials properties discussed in these articles deal with ion beam mixing, ion implantation, laser annealing, ion bombardment, transmission electron microscopy, photochemical processing, physical vapor deposition, electron beam

irradiation, and x-ray diffraction. Materials span intermetallic alloys, metals, elemental semiconductors, ceramics, thin films, and polymers. Overall, this special 200-page section of the 1988 November/December JMR reflects the broad interdisciplinary aspects of materials research in the continually evolving field of laser and particle beam processing.

High Temperature Superconductors and More The November/December issue's special section of laser and particle beam processing articles also echoes the success of the last year's November/December issue, which featured a group of articles on high temperature superconductors. Then, research on high temperature superconductors was just beginning to attract worldwide attention. Many of the research results published in the 1987 November/ December issue of JMR highlighted many important results in the high temperature superconductor arena. This field continues to expand rapidly, with tremendous competition among researchers. Several more articles on high temperature superconductors are published in this year's November/

December issue of JMR. Other articles published in the November/December 1988 issue of JMR feature materials such as metallic glasses, ceramics, intermetallic alloys, catalytic materials, optical materials, compound semiconductors, and polymers. Journal of Materials Research publishes original research articles, rapid communications, and reviews dealing with advanced materials preparation, processing, characterization, and properties. Subscribers number the 8,000 members of the Materials Research Society in addition to hundreds of prestigious technical libraries worldwide.
