Past Innovation in Materials Characterization Award Recipients

2012 Recipients  

Stephen J. Pennycook
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
 

“For his pioneering use of aberration-corrected Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy in the characterization of materials at the atomic scale."

2011 Recipients  

Tye T. Gribb
DTE Research & Design LLC
 

Thomas F. Kelly
Cameca Instruments, Inc.
 

David J. Larson
Cameca Instruments, Inc.
 

“For the highly successful conception,
design, fabrication, and commercialization
of an ergonomic three-dimensional
local-electrode atom probe (LEAP)
tomograph that enables the determination
of the local composition information, on an
atom-by-atom basis, of metallic,
semiconducting, ceramic and organic
materials, on a subnanometer scale, in
direct space, with high mass resolving
power and signal-to-noise ratio, permitting
the determination of small concentrations of all elements.”

2010 Recipients  

 Warren C. Oliver
Agilent Technologies
 

George M. Pharr
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
 

"For seminal contributions to the
development of the instrumentation
and analysis methods of nanoindentation
for characterizing the mechanical
properties of materials at the micro‐ and nanometer-length scales. Their work on nanoindentation has profoundly impacted
all fields of materials research where mechanical behavior is important.”
