A long-held ambition of the Society was realized this summer with the publication of a new journal, Materials Letters. Its principal editors are active MRS members, and through a formal affiliation of the Society and the journal we are promised significant participation in an international publication of materials science and a timely medium for communication within the Society itself. C.W. White of Oak Ridge National Laboratories, who as chairman of the Publication Committee negotiated the agreement with the journal's publisher, North-Holland Publishing Company of Amsterdam, said, "The advantages to the MRS of affiliating with Materials Letters are many." Aims and scope of the journal White noted that Materials Letters aims to reach and provide a forum for scientists and engineers trained in the traditional disciplines of chemistry, physics, ceramics and metallurgy, now engaged in the interdisciplinary field of the science and technology of materials. With the rapid publication of short papers of interest to this audience, the journal hopes to stimulate the crossfertilization of ideas and further developments in materials science and engineering. In the first issue of the journal, dated June 1982, the publishers state that contributions will cover the
physics and chemistry of matter - the crystalline, amorphous, synthetic superlattice and ordered liquid forms; characterization, including analytic, microscopic, acoustic, optical and spectroscopic; properties, including mechanical, magnetic, transport, optical, dielectric, interfacial and phase transformational; new materials and novel characterization techniques; and theoretical aspects of material behavior (such as computer modeling, etc.). Applications include optoelectronic, optical, magnetic, shape-memory and structural (such as composites, refractories, polymers, etc.). Processing includes crystal growth, including epitaxy and vapor deposition techniques such as MBE, CVD, MOCVD, sputtering, etc.; beam processing, including laser annealing, ion implantation, plasma etching, lithography, etc.; synthesis, including high pressure, powder preparation, explosive forming, rapid quenching, deformation processing extrusion, hydrostatic and novel techniques. The editors The principal editors of Materials Letters are MRS members Franklin F.Y. Wang of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and J.H. Wernick of Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J.
