Extract
Winners of the Materials Research Society's Graduate Student Awards for 1984 will address nine of the technical symposia. A record number of award winners were selected from an unprecedented avalanche of applications-more than three times the number submitted last year.
“A significantly greater number of graduate students will participate in this year's Fall Meeting than ever have before,” says Kathleen C. Taylor, Treasurer, who initiated the awards program for students. “Applications were received from a number of academic institutions which hadn't participated in previous competitions, indicating that the program is achieving one of its principal goals, which is to encourage the broadest possible participation in our meetings.”
The awards are made to outstanding students recommended by their major professor who will present papers judged superior by the chairmen of the MRS symposia. Thus, explains Kathy, “the students selected have demonstrated the intellectual excellence, technical competence, and hard work required to achieve distinguished research results.”
The award winners and the titles of the papers they will present are:
Thomas C. Banwell, applied physics, California Institute of Technology; “Ion Induced Mixing in Ni—SiO2 Bilayers.”
Bobbi Roop, physical chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; “Reactivity of XeF2, F2, and CF3 on Si(111)7×7 and Si (100) 2×1.”
Gary B. Bronner, electrical engineering, Stanford University; “Physical Modeling of Backside Gettering.”
Ali S.M. Salih, materials engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh; “Extrinsic Gettering via the Controlled Introduction of Misfit Dislocations.”
James Kakalios, physics, University of Chicago; “Amorphous Semiconductor Doping Superlattices.”
Evert Jan van Loenen, physics, FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics, Amsterdam; “The Orientation of Ultrathin NiSi2 Films: Correlations with Film Morphology.”
