Summary of Conference: Atomic Diffusion on Amorphous and Crystalline Surfaces Held in Piscataway, New Jersey on April 8-9, 1982

Abstract

The conference entitled "Atomic Diffusion on Amorphous and Crystalline Surfaces" was held on April 8-9, 1982 at Rutgers University. Announcements of the conference were sent to national and foreign members in the physical sciences, catalysis and chemical sciences sections of the New York Academy of Sciences. The program went according to schedule except for the inability from the University of Trento. Trento, Italy, was present at the conference and was able to substitute for Prof Isaacson. Dr. DeLorenzi spoke about the use of the molecular dynamics computer simulation technique an determining the role of the exchange mechanism in the cross-channel diffusion of adatoms on the FCC (110) surface. This created lively discussion because of the recent interest in this topic. The conference was attended by scientists from NBS, IBM, Bell Laboriatories, Corning Glass Works, NSP, and local universities. The papers were well received and the audience size (approximately 30 participants) enabled an availability of the speakers to all attendees which is not often seen at larger conferences.
