Charles S. Barrett Knihy
Charles Barrett bol priekopníkom v oblasti röntgenovej metalurgie, ktorý významne prispel k využitiu röntgenovej difrakčnej analýzy na charakterizáciu kovov a zliatin na atómovej úrovni. Vyvinul tiež topografickú metódu na hodnotenie kovov, známu dnes ako Berg-Barrettova metóda, a je autorom klasickej knihy o röntgenovej difrakcii a metalografii s názvom „Structure of Metals“. Svoju kariéru začal v roku 1928, keď nastúpil na oddelenie metalurgie v americkom Naval Research Laboratory. Počas svojej kariéry prispel svojimi talentami inštitúciám, ako je Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, University of Denver, University of Birmingham a Oxford University.
Focusing on x-ray fluorescence (XRF), the conference featured prominent speakers discussing advancements in the field across three regions: North America, Europe, and the Far East. Prof. D. E. Leydon highlighted developments in instrumentation and applications in North America, while Prof. H. Ebel addressed techniques and quantitation in Europe. Tomoya Arai explored scientific activities in Japan and China. The session aimed to update attendees on global trends and future directions in XRF, with written presentations included for broader accessibility.
The Denver X-Ray Conference thrives on three key elements: a collegial atmosphere for expert-novice interaction, engaging plenary sessions that introduce innovative ideas, and traditional sessions showcasing current research. The meticulous organization required for these aspects, particularly the plenary session, falls to a dedicated individual who curates a cohesive program of review papers. This effort ensures that attendees receive timely and relevant information, while also acknowledging the behind-the-scenes work that supports the smooth execution of the conference.
