General Electric Laboratory

The radiation source was a General Electric laboratory model Maxi-tron 300 x-ray unit. The machine was operated at 300 kv. and 20 ma. in all experiments. The radiation vessel hung vertically, inverted so that its bottom was as close as possible to the window of the x-ray tube. Thus, the vessel partially shielded its valve from the x-ray beam. The bottom... 

On December 31, 1954, Dr. H. Hugh Woodbury of the General Electric Laboratory duplicated my December 16 run and thus, to our knowledge, became the first man to duplicate the diamond synthesis claim of another. ... 

Finally, Frumkin very much enjoyed a visit to the General Electric Laboratories in Schenectady, New York, where he was hosted by Irving Langmuir (31 January 1881-16 August 1957). Frumkin also delivered a lecture at Stanford University, Cahfomia, at the invitation of the Canadian chemist James William McBain (22 March, 1882-12 March, 1953).

Because it is desirable to see whether the calculated results in Table 10-3 are realistic, measurements were accordingly made in the authors laboratory on a General Electric XRD-5 D/S spectrograph (9.5) under conditions that minimized all errors except the counting error. Instead of comparing standard and unknown, as in Table 10-1, analytical lines for two elements, cobalt and iron, were compared because this could be done on a single sample.

Many academic and industrial scientists serve as advisors to various federal agency programs in materials science. For example, the evaluation board for the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) at NIST contains representatives from Bell Laboratories, DuPont, General Electric, Allied Signal, and numerous universities. The private sector would like to improve the interactions at the strategic policy level, but some bureaucratic handicaps must be overcome. 

Academic institutions have been included, and in many instances, there have been commercial consequences, although that has not been the mission of the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense mission is defense and national security, not the development of compact disk players. But in fact, for example, in electronics and devices, fundamental materials research was sponsored by the Department of Defense. Various organizations and activities in parallel in industry (at Lincoln Laboratory, IBM, and General Electric) led to the development of the semiconductor laser in the early 1960s. 

Accompanying the photoemission process, electron reorganisation can result in the ejection of a photon (X-ray fluorescence) or internal electronic reorganisation leading to the ejection of a second electron. The latter is referred to as the Auger process and is the basis of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). It was Harris at General Electric s laboratories at Schenectady, USA, who first realised that a conventional LEED experiment could be modified easily to...
