This volume contains papers presented at the Symposium on Structure and Properties of Interfaces in Solids held at the 1991 Fall Meeting of the Materials Research Society, which took place in Boston, Massachusetts, from December 2-6, 1991. This symposium was intended as a follow-up to the Symposium Interfacial Structure, Properties, and Design held in Reno, Nevada, at the MRS Spring Meeting of 1988, and published as MRS Proceedings, Volume 122. The 1991 international meeting was designed to bring together scientists in the interfaces area from all over the world to a single four-day symposium, focused on issues arising from the relationships between the structure, chemistry, and properties of interfaces in metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and composites. The proceedings contain a total of 133 papers, including 14 invited papers, drawn fro the 87 platform presentations and the 104 posters. All the manuscripts were peer-reviewed, and our thanks are due to the session chairmen and individual referees, without whose assistance neither the program nor the preparation of the proceedings would have advanced so smoothly. The proceedings are organized basically in the order of presentation at the meeting, starting with recent developments in structural analysis and characterization of interfaces, followed by current research in the crystallography and role of interfacial defects. There is a large section devoted to grain boundaries alone, which leads into interphase boundaries and phase transformations. Another large section on interfaces and structures in thin films and multilayers reflects the growing awareness of the dependence of thin film properties on these boundaries. The recent interest in composites and high temperature materials is also evidenced by the number of papers addressing these topics. We conclude the proceedings with a section on interfaces in ceramics, in which are included studies of interfaces in high temperature superconductors.
