In 1946, after the discovery of the phase stability and the synchrotron principle by Weksler and Edwin McMillan, he collaborated with a group of physicists consisting of Ed Lofgren, Ken MacKenzie, Bernard Peters, Fred Schmidt and Byron Wright in converting the fixed-frequency 37-inch cyclotron at Berkeley to the first synchrocyclotron.

Atomic coordinates, site occupancies and isotropic displacement factors are listed in table VII . Although a very small amount of carbon ( less than 2 wt % ! ) plays an important role in the phase stability, carbon does not have its own sites but shares with boron two interstitial sites B / C15 and B / C16.
