Dr. Durbin has been selected as a Presidential Young                       Investigator.  He is active in fundamental research on x-ray                    superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy.  In the research                 program for the National Science Foundation he will pursue                      studies to include the application of x-ray and electron                        dynamical diffraction phenomena to the investigation of crystal                 surfaces.  The entire program is based on deriving structural                   information from the scattered x-ray and electron yields from                   crystal-wave field excitations, within the context of dynamical                 diffraction theory.                                                                                                                                                  By obtaining an understanding of bare crystal surfaces in                  vacuum, and then the structures obtained by slowly adding a                     different atomic species to that surface, the mechanics of                      epitaxial growth can be derived.  This knowledge is essential for               fabrication of new materials with properties engineered on an                   atomic scale.
