This report covers a three week visit to the following locations: 1.) A.A. Baikov Institute of Metallurgy of the Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia; 2.) Institute for Applied Informatics, of the Ukrainian Academy of Science, Kiev, Ukraine; 3.)Engineering Design Center.Cambridge University, Cambridge, England- and 4) Artificial Intelligence Department, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland. The visits involved sites whose current research involved either empirical methods for the design of materials and resultant products and/or the development of empirical methods of potential benefit in automating empirical research of materials and/or processing. The report address, for each site, 1) a brief overview …

The purpose of this paper, is to provide a means of estimating and comparing the wavelength conversion efficiency (figure of merit, FOM) of new nonlinear materials knowing only their bandgap. The approach for the estimates is trend analysis of existing data1-28 for the second order nonlinear coefficient, x(2)ijk, or dij =x(2)ijk/2, the index of refraction n, and the bandgap E. No underlying physical basis for the result will be presented. The result of this trend analysis, in the form of plots of x(2) vs E and FOM vs E …
