REQUIREMENT 

1. Origin of Request: MSA 

2. Principal Application: Exper1mental and theoretical investigation 

of ferrite physics. 

DESCRIPTION: 

To gain insight into the quantum nature of magnetic materials, and in particular, the exchange interaction. To discover by means of neutron diffraction the 

distribution of divalent and trivalent metal ions among octahedral and tetrahedral s~ in intermediate spinels. To relate this distribution to statistical thermodynamics, and thereby to increase our knowledge of the various terms of the energy 

of ionic crystals. To investigate the nucrowave transmission characteristics of 

ferrites.
