DOE/ER-0143 Dist. Category UC-25 September 1982 Materials Sciences Programs Fiscal Year 1982 U.S. Department of Energy Division of Materials Sciences Office of Basic Energy Sciences Office of Energy Research Washington, D.C. 20545 FOREWORD The Division of Materials Sciences is located within the Department of Energy in the Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The organizational structure of the Department of Energy is given in an accompanying chart. The Office of Basic Energy Sciences reports to the Director of the DOE Office of Energy Research. The Director of this Office is appointed by the President with Senate consent. The Director advises the Secretary on the physical research program; monitors the Department's R&D programs; advises the Secretary on management of the multipurpose laboratories under the jurisdiction of the Department excluding laboratories that constitute part of the nuclear weapon complex; and advises the Secretary on basic and applied research activities of the Department. The Materials Sciences Division constitutes one portion of a wide range of research supported by the DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences. Other programs are administered by the Office's Chemical Sciences, Biological Energy Research, Engineering, Mathematical and Geosciences, Advanced Energy Projects, and Carbon Dioxide Research Divisions. Materials Sciences research is supported primarily at DOE National Laboratories and Universities. The research covers a spectrum of scientific and engineering areas of interest to the Department of Energy and is conducted generally by personnel trained in the disciplines of Solid State Physics, Metallurgy, Ceramics and Chemistry. The structure of the Division is given in an accompanying chart. The Materials Science Division conducts basic research on materials properties and phenomena important to all energy systems. The aim is to provide the necessary base of materials knowledge required to advance the nation's energy programs. This report contains a listing of all research underway in FY 1982 together with a convenient index to the program. Louis C. Ianniello, Director Division of Materials Sciences Office of Basic Energy Sciences INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to provide a convenient compilation and index of the DOE Materials Sciences Division programs. This compilation is intended for use by administrators, managers, and scientists to help coordinate research and as an aid in selecting new programs. The report is divided into five sections. Section A contains all Laboratory projects, Section B has all contract research projects, Section C has in- formation on DOE collaborative research centers, Section D shows distribution of funding, and Section E has various indices. Each project carries a number (underlined) for reference purposes. The FY 1982 funding level, title, personnel, budget activity number (e.g., 01-2), and key words and phrases accompany the project number. The first two digits of the budget number refer to either Metallurgy and Ceramics (01), Solid State Physics (02), or Materials Chemistry (03). The budget numbers carry the following titles: 01-1 - Structure of Materials 01-2 - Mechanical Properties 01-3 - Physical Properties 01-4 - Radiation Effects 01-5 - Engineering Materials 02-1 - Neutron Scattering 02-2 - Experimental Research 02-3 - Theoretical Research 02-4 - Particle-Solid Interactions 02-5 - Engineering Physics 03-1 - Chemical Structure 03-2 - Engineering Chemistry 03-3 - High Temperature and Surface Chemistry Section C contains information on special DOE centers that are operated for collaborative research with outside participation. Section D summarizes the total funding level in a number of selected categories. Obviously most projects can be classified under more than one category and, therefore, it should be remembered that the categories are not mutually exclusive. In Section E the references are to the project numbers appearing in Sections A and B and are grouped by (1) Laboratory investigators, (2) Contract Research investigators, (3) materials, (4) techniques, (5) phenomena, and (6) environment. It is impossible to include in this report all the technical data available for such a large program. By the time it could be compiled it would be outdated. The best method for obtaining more detailed information about a given research project is to contact directly the investigators listed, This FY 1982 summary report was coordinated by R. J. Gottschall. Department of Energy Secretary Deputy Under Secretary Assistant Secretaries Office of Energy Research Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 1. Nuclear Energy 2.
