This volume consists of lectures delivered at the Sixth Inter
national Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary
Needs held at Islamabad from June 15 to July 2, 1981. The College
used to be held at one of the scenic hill resorts of Pakistan,
Nathiagali, hence the name of the College. The College was
organized by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), under
the patronage of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics
(ICTP), Trieste, with a view to providing an opportunity for local
physicists and physicists from developing countries for learning of
the latest developments in various branches of physics. The
University Grants Commission provided a financial grant for the
participation of physicists from the universities of Pakistan. The
College had 18 lecturers from 7 countries. The total participation
in the College was by over 200 people from 18 different countries.
There were 15 days of concentrated lecturing during the day
followed by seminars and discussion sessions in the evenings. From
its inception the College has had a broad-based, multi disciplinary
emphasis. The purpose of the College has been to provide physicists
in the developing countries with enough information in various
branches of physics so that they can shift, or broaden, their field
of research. In the poor countries, like Pakistan, physicists
cannot always get facilities and opportunities to continue research
in their original field of specialisation at a reasonable level."
