Eight U.S. Grad-students Attend NATO Sponsored School on Radiation Effects in Solids (2004)

On July 17th – 29th the NATO sponsored 32nd International School on Solid State Physics was held at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice, Sicily, Italy. The topic of this course was Radiation Effects in Solids, which was last addressed in an international school held at the University of Illinois in 1993. Pictured above: Neal Ham, Julie Tucker, Micah Hackett, Gaurav Gupta, Clay Dickerson, Erin Haney, Gabriel Sawakuchi, and Maria Okuniewski pictured after the school ended.   Eight graduate students from the United States were able to attend the course with partial support from the Material Science and Technology Division. Neal Ham, Micah Hackett and Gaurav Gupta from the University of Michigan, Julie Tucker, Clay Dickerson and Erin Haney from the University of Wisconsin, Gabriel Sawakuchi from Oklahoma State University and Maria Okuniewski from the University of Illinois participated. Course participants enjoyed lectures and laboratories with international experts in areas such as fundamentals of radiation damage, characterizing radiation damage using electron microscopy, ion beam irradiation, irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking, molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo and much...
