CAD4 Diffractometer for Sale
One CAD4 diffractometer is available for sale at The University of Toledo. The instrument consists of a 4-circle goniostat with standard kappa geometry, 3kW generator Diffraktis 586, an interface and a water-to-water chiller. In our setting, the instrument operates under Enraf Nonius software CAD4V5 installed on a Microvax3100 running under VMS 6.0 controlled from a VT320 terminal (computer and peripherals are not for sale). The unit, purchased in 1989, has been very well maintained. It is in very good shape and available immediately. For more information, please contact Professor James Gano, Director, Instrumentation Center, 200 Bowman-Oddy Laboratories, The University of Toledo, Toledo, OH43606, USA; e-mail: jgano@uoft02.utoledo.edu, phone: (419)530-7847; FAX: (419)530-4033.

International Centre for Diffraction Data Crystallography Scholarship Awards
The science of crystallography has played a key role in the development of X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and neutron diffraction for the elucidation of the atomic structure of matter. Crystallography is an interdisciplinary branch of science taught in departments of physics, chemistry, geology, molecular biology, metallurgy and material science. To encourage promising graduate students to pursue crystallographically oriented research, the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) has established a Crystallography Scholarship Fund.

While the Ewald Prize is awarded every three years to an internationally recognized crystallographer, little effort has been made by science departments to cultivate aspiring crystallographers. Convinced of the beneficial, scientific impact of the proposed scholarships for crystallographically -oriented research, the ICDD has solicited funds from private and industrial sectors to support this program. The ICDD has awarded 28 scholarships in the amount of $2,000.00 each since 1992. This year the award has been increased to $2500.00. Applications for the 2000 awards must be received by ICDD no later than 29 October 1999.
Qualifications: The applicant should be a graduate student seeking a degree with major interest in crystallography e.g. crystal structure analysis, crystal morphology, modulated structures, correlation of atomic structure with physical properties, systematic classification of crystal structures, phase identification and materials characterization. There are no restrictions on country, race, age or sex. The term of the scholarship is one year. Application for one renewal may be made by the recipient at the end of the first year. Because a limited number of scholarships are awarded, renewal applications will be considered on a competitive basis in conjunction with all applications that have been submitted up to the closing date.
Submit: Curriculum Vitae, listing degree(s) held and degree(s) sought. A one-page proposal by the graduate student describing the type of crystallographic research to be partially supported by scholarship. A supportive letter from the sponsoring professor of an accredited university or an institute of technology on institution letterhead.

Restrictions on the scholarship fund: The scholarship stipend is to be used by the graduate student to help defray tuition and laboratory fees. A portion of the stipend may be applied to registration fees to accredited scientific meetings related to crystallography. No more than one scholarship will be awarded to applicants at any one accredited institution per year. The funds of the scholarship are not to be used for travel.

The awarding of the scholarships is administered by a committee consisting of the ICDD Chairman, the Chairman of the ICDD Technical Committee, the Chairman of the ICDD Education Subcommittee, and 3 or 4 individuals without conflict of interest. One or more accredited professors (with no conflicts of interest) may be invited to assist in the selection of successful candidates.

Applications must be received by 29 October 1999. Please mail to:
