It is our pleasure to inform you that due to declared sponsorship of the Elsevier Science, Oxford, the Conference Proceedings may have much larger volume than originally planned. Therefore all high-quality Conference Contributions will be published if accepted by the Referees of Jornal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the rules given in the GUIDE FOR AUTHORS in J. Phys. Chem. Solids. The deadline for submission of the manuscripts to the Journal is November 30, 2000.
