ACS Division of Chemical Education
The American Chemical Society Division of Chemical Education (DivCHED) is a membership
Division of the American Chemical Society. It consists of people who teach chemistry
in high schools, colleges, and universities. It also includes people in industry,
government, etc. who have a particular interest in chemical education.
American Association of Physics Teachers
AAPT was established in 1930 with the fundamental goal of ensuring the "dissemination
of knowledge of physics, particularly by way of teaching." The Association currently
has over 11,000 members in 30 countries around the world.

Lecture Notes on Surfaces & Thin Films
© Arizona Board of Regents for Arizona State University and John A. Venables
These lecture notes by John A. Venables, originated in conjunction with lectures given
at ASU in Spring 1996, and at EPFL in Fall 1997, and have been reused, and in many
cases updated, since then. They have been used as a first draft of a graduate teaching
text Introduction to Surface and Thin Film Processeswhich has been published in August 2000, and can be ordered now! This text is open
to the web, in the sense that it may be updated from these pages, and incorporate
your comments, questions and student projects. Some additional linked material is
given in the Sussex QMMS course, which was presented in Fall 1999.

Nanotube Site
Maybe the most significant spin-off product of fullerene research, leading to the
discovery of the C60 "buckyball" by the 1996 Nobel Prize laureates Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto and
Richard E. Smalley, are nanotubes based on carbon or other elements. These systems consist of graphitic
sheets seamlessly wrapped to cylinders. With only a few nano-meters in diameter, yet
(presently) up to a milli-meter long, the length-to-width aspect ratio is extremely
high. A truly molecular nature is unprecedented for macroscopic devices of this size.
Accordingly, the number of both specialized and large-scale applications is growing
constantly.
The primary purpose of The Nanotube Site is to facilitate the exchange of ideas among
researchers by concentrating links to sites dedicated to nanotubes. One of the benefits
is to provide an easier (or better structured) electronic access to bibliographical
information and preprints. Information about providers of nanotubes is intended to
increase the production volume and find new applications for nanotubes.
The Nanotube Site is maintained regularly by David Tomanek, work and travel schedule
permitting. Help would be appreciated.
NIST Chemistry WebBook
The NIST Chemistry WebBook provides users with easy access to chemical and physical
property data for chemical species through the internet. The data provided in the
site are from collections maintained by the NIST Standard Reference Data Program and
outside contributors. Data in the WebBook system are organized by chemical species.
The WebBook system allows users to search for chemical species by various means. Once
the desired species has been identified, the system will display data for the species.
