UPCOMING CONFERENCES APS Materials Physics Division Plans Focused Sessions for March Meeting The American Physical Society's Division of Materials Physics has planned a series of 19 focused sessions for the APS Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, March 21-25, 1994. In the focused sessions, contributed papers are carefully organized around particular topics to make them more functional. A focused session typically begins with an invited paper chosen to set the stage for the contributed papers and discussions. Focused sessions are planned on the following topics: • Theory of Materials—advances in theoretical modeling and computational studies of materials; calculations for technologically important compounds; diffusion and reactions at surfaces and interfaces; theory of alloys; "order-N" algorithms; materials physics software. • Mossbauer Studies—general studies, recent developments, novel uses, industrial applications. • Fullerenes and Fullerene-Related Materials—experimental and theoretical research into physical properties of fullerenes, fullerene-derived compounds and composites, and carbon nanotubes. • Avalanches, Earthquakes, and Fracture—experimental and theoretical approaches to the relationships among these traditionally separate subjects. • Interaction of Crystal Lattice Defects and Superconductivity—to bring together researchers interested in the effect of defects in controlling and improving superconducting properties with researchers interested in the physics and materials science of defects. • Diamond Growth, Properties, and Applications—materials (including related wide bandgap materials) range from MRS BULLETIN/FEBRUARY 1994

high-purity single crystals to CVD films, covering pure and applied research. • Magnetic Heterostructures, Thin Films
