Finch, C. B.

The traveler collaborated with Michel Genet and others at the Institut de Physique Nucleaire to grow CaO-stabilized ZrO/sub 2/ single crystals by the skull technique. This effort was the initial state of a program to produce rare-earth-doped ZrO/sub 2/ single-crystal specimens to be used in spectroscopic studies at both IPN and ORNL. Because of a re-direction in the research priorities at the IPN and the accompanying dearth of funding for this project, this assignment was terminated with the mutual consent of the two institutions.
