This report was written on February 1, 1962 and distributed on March 15, 1962. It is copy number 53 (per stamp on front cover). Edmund K. Storms obtained a Ph.D. in radiochemistry from Washington University (St. Louis) and retired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory after thirty-four years of service. His work there involved research in the field of high temperature chemistry as applied to materials used in nuclear power and propulsion reactors. Over seventy publications and monographs resulted as well as several books and two patents. All LAMS reports are informal documents, usually prepared for a special purpose and primarily prepared for use within the Laboratory rather than for general distribution. All LAMS reports express the views of the authors as of the time they were written and to not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory or the final opinion of the authors on the subject. Label on front of the report indicated that this was Superseded by LA-2942. Name and organizational code in ink on front cover. The Abstract states: The literature concerning the Group 4a, -5a, and -6a carbides has been reviewed critically. The following properties have been discussed: preparation, phase relationship, lattice parameter and structure, appearance. chemical stability, hardness, resistivity, superconductivity, thermodynamic properties, and vaporization. When possible, each property has been considered in light of the wide homogeneity exhibited by these carbides. Particular attention has been paid to methods by which the carbides can be made oxygen and nitrogen free. This copy at one time belonged to Darryl Butt, NMT-1. This is possibly the Dr. Darryl P. Butt who became a professor and chair of Materials Science and Engineering at Boise State University, and an associate director of the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) in Idaho Falls. Dr. Butt held several positions at Los Alamos National Laboratory between 1991 and 1999. As a postdoctoral fellow he studied very high temperature hydrogen-solid reactions and thermodynamics of transition metal and actinide carbides. This work included developing planar laser induced fluorescence methods for characterizing and directly imaging plasmas produced during laser ablation processes, modeling gas-solid reactions, and modeling of binary, ternary and quaternary phase diagrams. In 1994 he established the Materials Corrosion and Environmental Effects Laboratory within the Materials Science and Technology Division, where as a team leader, he lead efforts in a variety of areas including aqueous and high-temperature oxidation of ceramics, alloys and protective coatings, radiation effects on materials corrosion, gallium vaporization, sequestration of carbon dioxide and development of high-temperature materials and seals, and carbon dioxide sequestration. In 1998, Butt became the project leader for Weapons Dismantlement and Fissile Materials Transparency where he managed and oversaw technical efforts and policy development related to a possible START III treaty and Russian-U.S. lab-to-lab technical interactions in nuclear nonproliferation. 17th edition [stated].
