Walter Kohn. A banner on a lightpole at the University of California, Santa Barbara, commemorating Walter Kohn being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1998. Walter Kohn ( German pronunciation: [ˈvaltɐ ˈkoːn]; March 9, 1923 – April 19, 2016) [3] was an Austrian-American theoretical physicist and theoretical chemist .
The geometric structure of the clathrate Sr8Gal Gego (Sr red, Ga blue, Ge white) and its charge density in a plane bisecting the centers of the cages. DEI' calculations have shown that the Sr atoms are weakly bound and scatter phonons effectively, thereby, lowering thermal conducti- vity.
