Introduction

BES-DMS, to gain

The Materials Sciences Subcommittee of BESAC met at Argonne National Laboratory on August 6 and 7, 1987. This meeting served as an opportunity to review the major programmatic thrusts of the OBES-DMS program. Presentations were made by Ames, Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Sandia National Laboratories, as well as the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) Materials Research Laboratory. The programs in these laboratories make up greater than 50% of the base program of excluding major facilities. Thus, the Subcommittee was able perspective on the technical program and various other issues that the laboratory managers were asked to address, including high priority program opportunities for future attention and the role of major facilities and collaborative user facilities in programmatic research. The Subcommittee has not yet reviewed the multifaceted programs supported by BES-DMS at the universities.

The BES-DMS program is a major component of the Nation's fundamental research on materials. Together with programs of roughly equivalent size funded by the NSF and the DOD, it underpins much of the future materials technology development in the U.S. Furthermore, through co-location with technology programs at the National Laboratories and via numerous DOE contractors meetings, the OBES-DMS program is responsive to DOE's missions. (A tabulation of funding history is attached at the end of the report.)

Findings

The Subcommittee has found through presentations at the August 6-7 meeting and from various other information sources the following facts:

1. The technical vitality and health of the OBES-DMS program is Major components of the program are resident both at the National Laboratories and at Universities.

outstanding.

2. A large degree of flexibility is a feature of the program, which allows for rapid progress to be made in new areas by program redirection at the laboratories and universities. The most recent example is the outstanding contributions to the new field of High Temperature Superconductors. Much of the redirection came from related programs on low-temperature superconductors. However, additional experts in the base program in ceramics, thin films etc. also have focused their efforts on this new field. Such reprogramming was driven by the excitement of the scientific
