Proceedings of the 1991 Cryogenic Engineering Conference held in
Huntsville, Alabama, June 11-14, 1991.
The 1989 Cryogenic Engineering Conference, meeting jointly with the
International Cryogenic Materials Conference, was held on the
campus of the University of California, Los Angeles from July 24 to
28. Professor T.H.K. Frederking was the conference chairman. The
Conference had previously met at U.C.L.A. in 1962 and 1969. A
special symposium, "A Half Century of Superfluid Helium," was a
significant part of the program of CEC-89. We were especially
fortunate to have Professor Jack Allen of the University of St.
Andrews, Scotland present at the Conference; his paper, "Early
Superfluidity in Cambridge, 1936 to 1939," was a delightful, often
humorous account of the early experimental work with superfluid
helium. Professors V.L. Ginzburg and J.L. Olesen could not be
present for the Symposium, but provided papers which are published
in these proceedings. The late Bill Fairbank, responding graciously
to a last-minute invitation from Professor Frederking, presented a
wonderful account of superfluid research in the United States in
the post-war years.
The Sixth International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC) was
held on the campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
Cambridge in col laboration with the Cryogenic Engineering
Conference (CEC) on August 12-16, 1985. The complementary program
and the interdependence of these two dis ciplines foster the
conference. Its manifest purpose is sharing the latest advances in
low temperature materials science and technology. Equally im
portant, areas of needed research are identified, prioriti-es for
new research are set, and an increased appreciation of
interdisciplinary, interlaboratory, and international cooperation
ensues. The success of the conference is the result of the. able
leadership and hard work of many people: S. Foner of M.I.T.
coordinated ICMC efforts as its Conference Chairman. A. I.
Braginski of Westinghouse R&D Center planned the program with
the assistance of Cochairmen E. N. C. Dalder of Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory, T. P. Orlando of M.I.T., D. O. Welch of
Brookhaven National Laboratory, and numerous other committee
members. A. M. Dawson of M.I.T., Chairman of Local Arrangements,
and G. M. Fitzgerald, Chairman of Special Events, skillfully
managed the joint conference. The contributions of the CEC Board,
and particularly its conference chairman, J. L. Smith, Jr. of
M.I.T., to the organization of the joint conference are also
gratefully acknm.ledged.
The Fourth International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC) was
held in San Diego, California in conjunction with the Cryogenic
Engineer ing Conference (CEC) on August 10-l4, 1981. The synergism
produced by conducting the two conferences together remains very
strong. In the ap pl1cation of cryogenic technology, materials
continue to be a demanding challenge, and sometimes, an obstacle.
The association of materials and cryogenic engineers increases
their awareness of recent research in each other's fields and
influences the course of future research. Many contributed to the
success of the 1981 conference. J. W. Morris of the University of
California--Berkeley was ICMC Conference Chairman. E. N. C. Dalder
of Lawrence Livermore Laboratories was ICMC Structural Program
Chairman; D. C. Larbalestier of the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, and D. K. Finnemore of Iowa State University were
Superconducting Materials Program Chairmen. Local arrangments were
expertly coordinated by R. E. Tatro of General Dynamics--San Diego.
The CEC Board, especia11y their conference chairman, T. M. Flynn,
of the National Bureau of Stan dards, Boulder, contributed very
substantia1ly to conference planning and implementation. All of
their efforts provided the foundation of the largest CEC/ICMC ever.
We thank the Office of Naval Research and the Office of Fusion
Energy and Basic Energy Sciences of the Department of Energy for
providing needed financial support for the conference. Fina11y, we
especially thank M. Stieg, who prepared the papers for the new
procedures and format used in this volume."
