Research programs from Sandia Laboratory in Materials Science are briefly presented. Significant accomplishments include: preparation of Tl superconductors under equilibrium conditions, development of force-feedback sensor for interfacial force microscope, predictive model of hydrogen interactions in silicon dioxide on silicon, layer-by-layer sputtering of Si (001), oscillatory As{sub 4} surface reaction rates during molecular beam epitaxy of AlAs, GaAs and InAs, the effects of interfacial strain on the band offsets of lattice matched III-V semiconductor, a new mechanism for surface diffusion, solid solution effects in Tl-containing superconductors, record high superconducting transitions for organic materials, atomic vibrations in boron carbides and a method for studying radical/surface reactions in chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
