Correlation of materials properties with the atomic density concept

Progress is described in developing, through mathematical expressions, values for the parameters which apparently determine the values of atomic density, melting point, and principal elastic constant for the alkali halides. This necessarily required the review and refinement of these data for the monohalides in general and for LiH. A more sensitive and dimensionless expression of the mass factor appears to have promise and a still more sensitive one is suggested for future study. A periodicity factor based on inert gas core configuration has been suggested to replace the atomic number previously used.

Thermoelastic analysis of solar cell arrays and their material properties

Announced report discusses experimental test program in which five different solar cell array designs were evaluated by subjecting them to 60 thermal cycles from minus 190 deg to 0.0 deg. Results indicate that solder-coated cells combined with Kovar n-interconnectors and p-interconnectors are more durable under thermal loading than other configurations.
