Work ranging from characterizing thin films and interfaces to supporting vacuum standards development and research to developing silicon-based molecular electronics will be honored next month at AVS’s annual meeting, held this year in San Francisco. AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing will hand out five awards in recognition of recipients’ achievements.
John C. Hemminger, dean of the school of physical sciences and professor of chemistry at the University of California, Irvine, will receive the Medard W. Welch Award “for outstanding contributions to the development of quantitative, molecular level understanding of many important interfacial processes, especially those related to atmospheric chemistry.”
The Gaede–Langmuir Award will go to Leonard J. Brillson “for demonstration of the fundamental importance of semiconductor interfacial bonding, metallurgical reactions, and defect formation upon solid state material and device properties.” Brillson is a professor of electrical and computer engineering, a professor of physics, and a...
