Technical Societies Archives

We are members of the following technical societies:
AVS - Science & Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing (formerly the American Vacuum Society)
AVS is a not-for-profit professional society that promotes communication between academia, government laboratories, and industry for the purpose of sharing research and development findings over a broad range of technologically relevant topics. Our symposia and journals provide an important forum for the dissemination of information in many areas of science and technology-enabling a critical gateway for the rapid insertion of scientific breakthroughs into manufacturing realities.
ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing & Materials)
ASTM International is one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world-a trusted source for technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services. Known for their high technical quality and market relevancy, ASTM International standards have an important role in the information infrastructure that guides design, manufacturing and trade in the global economy.

Susan Kerber of Material Interface, Inc. is currently head of the ASTM E42.03 subcommittee on Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.  New ASTM standards are presently being developed for the surface analysis of stainless steel.
ASM International (formerly American Society for Materials)
The ASM International Society is formed for the exclusive purpose of advancing and disseminating scientific, engineering, and technical knowledge, particularly with respect to the manufacture, processing, characterization, selection, understanding, use and life-cycle of engineering materials through education, research and the compilation and dissemination of information to serve technical and professional needs and interests and to benefit the general public.
