Abstract
THE X-ray Analysis Group of the Institute of Physics held a joint meeting with the Midland Branch of the Institute on October 4 in Birmingham, to discuss “Physical Methods for the Identification of Materials”. Sir Lawrence Bragg gave a historical summary of different methods which had been used for the identification of materials, and Prof. M. L. E. Oliphant commented on the importance of the subject in nuclear physics. A knowledge of the corrosion products of metals, for example, involves physical methods of identification.
