The Davisson–Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface Physics is an annual prize that has been awarded by the American Physical Society since 1965. The recipient is chosen for "outstanding work in atomic physics or surface physics".
This prize recognizes outstanding work in atomic physics or surface physics. The prize consists of $5,000 and a certificate citing the contributions made by the recipient or recipients.
The Davisson–Germer experiment was a 1923-27 experiment by Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer at Western Electric (later Bell Labs), in which electrons, scattered by the surface of a crystal of nickel metal, displayed a diffraction pattern.
Nov 12, 2018 · CMU Physics Professor Randall Feenstra has been named the winner of the 2019 Davisson-Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface Physics from the American Physical Society.
I will describe how characterization of graphene via cryogenic STM has enabled ultra-relativistic behavior such as atomic collapse and Dirac fermion quantum confinement to be directly imaged in gated graphene devices.
