The traveler attended the 15th International Union of Crystallography Congress and presented a paper entitled ''Characterization of Precipitates Using High-Order X-Ray Diffuse Scattering.'' Of particular interest to the traveler and to programs at ORNL was the increasing application of synchrotron x-ray sources, progress in structural determinations for quasi-crystalline and incommensurate materials, scattering-phase determinations applied to imperfect crystals, including protein crystals, developments in the area of magnetic x-ray scattering, and the status of two-dimensional x-ray detectors and x-ray imaging plates. The traveler made site visits to the Technical University of Zuerich for discussions relating to solute precipitation and short-range ordering in metal alloys, to the University of Muenich for discussions on x-ray investigations of damage production in metals by energetic particles, and to the Technical University of Muenich for discussions on Moessbauer and magnetic x-ray investigations.
