Zener relaxation studies have heen made on three silver solid solutions with a torsion pendulum and an elastic-after-effect apparatus. over the range of temperatures studied an Arrhenius equation describes the results. An Arrhenius plot yields for 32% Cd in Ag tr = lo-16.6se~p (~~$oo/RT); for 44% Au in Agt, = 10-'6*5" exp (44,2OO/RT); and for 68% Au in Ag t,. = lo-16.28 exp (42,3W/RT). For each concentration the relaxation time t,. is compared with t the mean time of stay obtained from diffusion measurements of other investigators.
In each case the relaxation time is clearly associated with the extrapolated mean time of stay of the faster moving component. Over the temperature range studied the constant relating these times is aPPrnXin'IatelY unity.
Grain boundary relaxation was studied in the system 42% Au in Ag. The relaxation process can be described by tr = 10-14,0 exp (49,3OO/RT).

Two internal friction peaks have been identified in vanadium. One occurring at 186ยฐC for frequencies of 1 cps is associated with the stress-induced diffusion of oxygen, and the other occurring at 272ยฐC is associated with the diffusion of nitrogen. The corresponding activation energies for these peak
D= 500 A, the average field was calculated for film thicknesses in the range of 100-5000 A. The voltage across the film corresponding to each thickness was then calculated from the average field. A plot of thickness versus voltage calculated in this manner is compared in Fig. 1 with experimental dat
