DOE Notes 23 Universities Receive Research Instrumentation Awards Twenty-three universities will receive 26 awards totaling $4.9 to purchase state-ofthe-art scientific instruments for energyrelated research under DOE's University Research Instrumentation Program. The 1990 awards will help meet the needs of universities carrying out DOE-sponsored research in atomic and nuclear physics, biological and environmental research, chemical and coal sciences, geosciences, and materials research. Of the 26 awards, 9 went to the materials research category. Each instrument awarded under the program costs more than $100,000. In addition to the DOE award, each university will provide funds toward the total cost of the instruments. For information about this program, contact: University Research Instrumentation Program Office, Attention D. Prokop, Department of Energy, Office of Energy Research, Room 3F061, Washington, DC 20585; téléphone (202) 586-8901.

We needed... ...an FTIR for optical characterization ofour new semiconductor materials and heterostructures. But, becauseofthe variety of materials and defects we expect to evaluate, we needed more capability than just photoluminescence. The new Bomem DA8 provided not only exceptionally high sensitivity and resolution in photoluminescence over a
