Berlincourt, T. G.
Ted Gibbs Berlincourt records, 1950-2007.
This collection documents the career of Ted Gibbs Berlincourt at Atomics International of North American Aviation, Incorporated and for the federal government in the Office of Naval Research and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, with an emphasis on his work in high-magnetic-field superconductivity. Major topics covered in the collection: the retirement of Cecil T. Lane; development of Nb-Zr (niobium-zirconium) and Nb-Ti (niobium-titanium) alloys; patent battle between Atomics International (Berlincourt, Richard Hake, and D. H. Leslie) and Bell Telephone Laboratories (led by J. E. Kunzler); involvement of federal government in applications of high-magnetic-field superconductivity, including the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA); and congressional testimony of Craig Fields, Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Ph.D., Yale University, 1953. Project Physicist, United States Naval Research Laboratory (1952-55); Senior Physicist, Group Leader of Electronic Properties, and Associate Director of Rockwell International Science Center (1955-70); Professor and Chair of Physics Department at Colorado State University (1970-72); Director of Physical Sciences Division and Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate at the Office of Naval Research (1972-86); Director of Research and Laboratory Management at the Office of the Secretary of Defense (1986-92). Major research areas: solid state physics and high-magnetic-field superconductivity.
