SWENBON, Institute for Atom& Research and Department of Physice, Iowa Slale University, Ames, Iowa V This Page Intentionally Left Blank Preface Two of the articles in the present volume carry forward the coverage in this series of materials that have been of especial interest in solid state studies. One, by Busch and Kern, treats the preparation and properties of gray tin, which is of interest as an elemental semiconductor. In the other, by Bube, important aspects of the behavior of imperfections in cadmium sulfide type materials are discussed. The coverage of semiconductor behavior is continued in the article by Keyes in which the effect of elmtic deformation on electrical properties of semiconductors is reviewed. Two fields that have become especially prominent recently in solid state studies are reviewed in the other two articles of this volume. One is “Physics at High Pressure, ” reviewed by Swenson, and the other is “Cyclotron Resonance,” reviewed by Lax and Mavroides. Also included in this volume is a cumulative index of the first ten volumes of the series. This index is not a detailed one but is rather a topical index constructed from the outlines of the articles.
