Sayers, D E

The X-11 PRT continues to be one of the most active and productive groups at the NSLS. The science performed on X-11 reflects the breadth of the membership of the PRT itself. Significant studies on the high {Tc} superconductors have been reported by three groups. Other significant studies on materials included continuing leadership in multilayer and interface studies by Heald and colleagues, Budnick and colleagues and Lamble, studies of amorphous metals and semiconductors and glasses, substitutional effects in ternary and quaternary alloys, identification of an Ag{sub 4}O{sub 3} phase in silver oxide electrodes and a preliminary time resolved diffraction of solid combustion reactions by Wong. In chemistry and biology, there was continuing active work in studying corrosion, fuel cells, catalysts, redox reactions in proteins and the effects of phosphorus and other environmental factors on the core formation in ferritin. In the following, the progress in the core scientific program of Dale Sayers is listed, followed by the beamline and facility progress reports.
