ISTEC and MRS Cosponsor the 1995 International Woitehop on Superconductivity The International Superconductivity Technology Center (ISTEC) and the Materials Research Society (MRS) will hold their second joint international workshop on June 18-21,1995, in Maui, Hawaii. The theme of this year's Workshop will be "Controlled Processing of HighTemperature Superconductors: Fundamentals and Applications." The potential application and use of HTS in electrical and electronic devices will be included. The Workshop will be a single-session meeting, with a significant amount of time allotted to encourage exchange of information among the participants. The topics will include: • Thin Film Growth: process parameters, materials, homo/heteroepitaxy, phase stability, and characterization; • Bulk Crystal Production: controlled crystal growth, bulk single crystals, introduction of pinning centers, thermody-
namics and chemistry, phase transitions, and applications; • Wire and Tape Production: long wire/tape production, key parameters for high /c, Ic, stress effects and AC losses, and applications; • Thin Film Applications: junction formation, lithographic technology, surface quality control, and applications; • New Technology: innovative technology, new technology, processing for new materials and processes. The chairs of the Workshop, S. Tanaka, (ISTEC) and J.M. Phillips (AT&T Bell Labs) will present special lectures.-C-W. (Paul) Chu (the Texas Center for Superconductivity at the University of Houston [TCSUH]), H. Hayakawa (Nagoya University), D.C. Larbalestier (University of Wisconsin), and Y. Tanaka (Furukawa Electric) have been invited to present talks at the plenary session.
The deadline for submissions of contributed abstracts has passed; however, late news papers will be considered subject to their appropriateness and available space. Extended Abstracts will be published and distributed to all participants at the Workshop. For further information about the Workshop, contact Tetsuji Kobayashi, Manager, International Affairs Department, International Superconductivity Technology Center (ISTEC), Eishin Kaihatsu Bldg., 6F, 34-3, Shimbashi 5-chome, Minatoku, Tokyo 105, Japan; telephone 81-3-34314002; fax 81-3-3431-4044.
Additional support is provided by The Japan Keirin Association; Argonne, Los Alamos, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories; TCSUH; the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Florida State University); and S & T Center for Superconductivity (University of Illinois). The Workshop is endorsed by the Research and Development Association for Future Electron Devices, Materials Research Society of Japan, and the European • Materials Research Society.
CONFERENCE REPORT
Nuclear Waste Management Symposium Held in Japan The 18th International Symposium on the "Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management" was held in Kyoto, Japan, from October 23-27, 1994. This symposium, normally held during the MRS Fall Meeting in Boston, rotates to other countries every third year. In previous years, it has been held in Berlin (1982,
