Abstract
THE Netherlands Physical Society is organising an international conference on the physics of metals, to be held at Aonsterdam during July 12–18, after the Assembly of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. The provisional programme includes general lectures by Dr. R. Kronig (Delft) on the electronic structure of metals ; Prof. L. Pauling (Pasadena) on valency in metals ; Dr. H. B. G. Casimir (Eindhoven) or Prof. C. J. Gorter (Leyden) on superconductivity ; Sir Lawrence Bragg (Cambridge) on slip in metals ; Prof. N. F. Mott (Bristol) on work hardening and creep in metals ; H. Borelius (Stockholm) on transitions in super-cooled metallic solutions ; A. Guinier (Paris) on precipitations in metals ; Prof. W. G. Burgers (Delft) on crystal growth ; Prof. J. H. van Vleck (Harvard) on fundamentals of ferromagnetism. The reception committee in Amsterdam is prepared to give advice and to make hotel reservations. Particulars of the conference can be obtained from Prof. C. J. Gorter, Kamerlingh Onnes Lab., Nieuwsteeg 18, Leyden.
