CALL FOR PAPERS

Contributions Sought for IBMM 86 The International Conference on Ion Beam Modification of Materials (IBMM 86) will be held at the Hotel Perla Jonica, Catania, Italy, June 9-13, 1986. Following the established scope of this series of Conferences, IBMM 86 will cover ion beam modification of metals, semiconductors, insulators, ceramics and polymers. MRS is a cosponsor of this important meeting, which takes place every two years to review major developments and directions in ion beam modification. The following topics will be included: • energy deposition, ranges, disorder, sputtering; • ion implantation in metals: modification for corrosion, fatique, wear; superconductivity; medical applications; • implantation in semiconductors: high dose rate effects, shallow implants, MeV implants, optical properties of heavily implanted semiconductors, waveguides, implantation in superlattice structures; • amorphization by ion beam, properties

of the amorphous phases, diffusion and impurity behavior, ion beam induced crystallization, rapid thermal annealing, stress in implanted layers; • ion beam mixing: matter transport, metastable phases, interface modification in metal/insulator system, recoil implantation; • ion implantation in insulators: magnetic materials, glasses, optoelectronic materials, radiation damage in polymers, astrophysical applications; • reactive ion etching, ion beam litography, ion beam assisted deposition, ion cluster beam deposition, chemical modification, ion beam induced desorption. Deadline for submission of abstracts is December 30, 1985. For further information contact Emanuele Rimini, Dipartimento di Fisica, Corso Italia, 57, 195129 Catania, Italy, telephone 095 377061. See additional information on the meeting in up-coming issues of the BULLETIN.

Papers Sought for International Symposium on the Durability of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete An international symposium devoted to durability of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) and related composites will be held at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza, Chicago, November 13-15, 1985. The Symposium is sponsored by the Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI), and cosponsored by the Materials Research Society, the American Concrete Institute, and the American Ceramic Society. Papers dealing with GFRC durability are solicited. The general topics of concern include history and present utilization of GFRC as influenced by durability considerations; the technology of alkaliresistant fiberglass and relevant aspects of cement technology; reinforcement mechanisms in GFRC composites; mechanisms involved in possible loss of strength, ductility, or impact resistance on exposure of GFRC; test methods for evaluating GFRC

durability; and new technologies designed to limit degradation of properties, including new glasses, modified sizings and coatings, and new or modified matrices. Titles of prospective papers and 300400 word summaries should be sent to Prof. Sidney Diamond, Program Chairman, School of Civil Engineering, P
