REPORT


MRS Calls for Nominees for Outstanding Young Award for 1996 The Materials Research Society is accepting nominations for the Outstanding Young Investigator Award to be announced at the 1996 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco. The award is intended to recognize outstanding, interdisciplinary scientific work in materials research by a young scientist or engineer. The recipient must also show exceptional promise as a developing leader in the materials area. The award consists of a $2,000 cash prize, a presentation trophy bearing a brief citation, and a certificate. Reasonable travel expenses to attend the Spring Meeting and the registration fee will be reimbursed. Previous recipients are Stuart S.P. Parkin (IBM) for contributions in new materials, high Tc superconductors, and magnetic multilayers displaying oscillatory exchange coupling; David D. Awschalom (University of California— Santa Barbara) for contributions to the physics of molecules in confined geometries, magnetic superlattices, and nanometer-scale magnets; Charles M. Lieber (Harvard University) for contributions to the understanding of novel materials through synthesis and elegant determination of complex local structure and electronic properties; David J. Eaglesham (AT&T Bell Laboratories) for creativity, leadership, and experimental ingenuity in discovering and understanding fundamental interface, surface, and defect phenomena in semiconductor crystal growth; and A. Paul Alivisatos (University of California—Berkeley) for leadership in materials research, notably in the field of nanocrystals (see Alivisatos's edited transcript of his 1995 MRS Spring Meeting presentation in this issue). The deadline for submission of nominations is October 1,1995. For guidelines and application forms, contact John B. Ballance, Executive Director, Materials Research Society, 9800 McKnight Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15237-6006; (412) 367-3003; fax (412) 367-4373. ESU

DON'T EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR MAGNETOMETER.

Magnetic Property Measurement System

Whether it's high-volume characterization of superconductors, high-sensitivity studies of magnetic materials or any other critical magnetic measurement, it's important to have absolute confidence in the accuracy of your results. Which is why so many of the world's most respected labs have come to rely on the Magnetic Property Measurement System (MPMS) from Quantum Design. Using Quantum's reliable, time-tested SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) technology, the MPMS can resolve dc magnetic moment changes as small as 10* EMU and as large as 300 EMU. This unsurpassed sensitivity and large dynamic range, combined with patented, fully automated temperature control, have helped make the MPMS the industry standard for magnetic research. So why trust your research to an unproven system? The MPMS is backed by years of experience, thousands of successful experiments, and Quantum's proven commitment to customer service.
