The Romanian Physical Society (RPS) has been organizing, every year, the National Conference of Physics, since 1990, the date of society's post-war initiation. It however continues a tradition that the community of physicists managed to pursue for two decades earlier. There are important differences as comparing with the past in many respects: logistics, means, motivation of participation both of institutions and individuals, scope and aims. However from several points of view the word "continuity" has a factual support.
The main purpose of the national conference is to bring together physicists from various institutions, universities, research laboratories, colleges, and high schools, to discuss all matters referring to our profession and activity. And problems appear more and more acute in the present stage of historical development of our country.
Equally important is to watch to what extent the standard of research and education in physics correspond to the mainstream of the world science and to what extent we find the physics in Romania imbedded in .the world's civilization.
The sub-title "trends in physics" , adopted from the European general conferences, expresses exactly the desire of the organizers to have an overview of the status of research and education in physics in our country capable to constitute a frame for further steps and a signal for competent authorities in science policy - and for physicists themselves, too. From this point of view the Romanian Physical Society is the ideal institution, if not the only one, capable to engage on such a task. Specialized conferences more, or less successful, have been abundant during the last few years and they are extremely necessary. They solve punctual problems of scientific communication and cooperation. National conferences are expected to be a general real forum for physics promotion and advancement in Romania.
The present book contains the abstracts of contributions submitted to the conference. They will be catalogued by several international agencies (i.e. INIS-AIEA) and will be kept in the web page of RPS. As we have found an increase of the standard of presentation by the authors no paper was rejected, though we recognize that there are many misprints and language mistakes in many texts. The meaning and the intrinsic value of these texts are however transparent. Unfortunately the organizers did not have the means and time to make the necessary corrections; we operated in general to the printing aspect and uniformity of presentations. Regarding the content, spelling, grammar and logical flow, these remain entirely as the responsibility of the authors themselves.
