Research in Metallurgy and Ceramics included the investigation of the mechanical properties, stress corrosion cracking, and fracture of metals, alloys, and transition metal compounds; the investigation of the dynamic structure of water and electrolyte solutions at high temperature and pressure; and the investigation of the properties of oxides and of the magnetic properties of alloys. Solid state Physics research was focussed on the electronic properties of solids and on defects in crystal structure including radiation damage. Important topics of investigation were the effect of dislocations and impurities on the mechanical properties of metals, diffusion processes in superionic conductors, the defect structure of quantum crystals, high pressure studies of the electronic structure of phosphors, and the magnetic structure of transition metal atoms in nonmagnetic host crystals. The program is planned to provide an atomic understanding of energy flow, conversion and storage processes, and to support with basic research the development of improved materials for energy applications.
