- Letter from James C. Uy to LP, RE: Uy, a graduate research assistant at the California Institute of Technology, has observed that, in the primary solid solutions of zirconium, there is a striking regularity of the effect of solute valence on the stabilization of the allotropic phases. A solute with lower metallic valence than the solvent tends to stabilize the alpha phase, while a solute whose metallic valence is higher than that of the solvent tends to stabilize the beta phase. Uy sends his data compilation and asks if LP might reply to tell him whether this observation can be accounted for by LP's concept of metallic valences.
