John Bardeen AwardEstablished in 1994, this award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding contributions and is a leader in the electronic materials field.

Citation: For his outstanding and creative contributions to science and technology of silicon carbide and group III nitrides.

2009 Recipient: Robert F. Davis Carnegie Mellon University

“John Bardeen cast a large shadow of excellence over the materials science and physics communities in terms of his considerable intelligence and his creation of new knowledge. I am pleased that TMS has chosen to recognize his genius with the John Bardeen Award. I am very honored to both be the recipient of this award for 2009 and to join the list of distinguished persons who received this award in prior years.”

Nominate Your Colleague for the TMS 2010 John Bardeen Award!

About John BardeenJohn Bardeen’s career of theoretical and experimental research set the foundation for the current state of understanding of electronic materials. Two areas in which Bardeen had great impact were the invention and development of the solid-state transistor and the theory that developed greater understanding of superconductivity.

For Award Criteria and Additional InformationPick up a nomination form at the EMC registration desk, or visit the TMS Web site at www.tms.org/Society/honors.html.

Student Paper AwardsAwards of $500 each are given to the authors of the top 5 percent of student papers presented at EMC. Student papers are judged on both scientific content and oral presentation. Awards are funded by the Electronic Materials Committee and presented during the plenary session on Wednesday, June 24.

Student Travel Awards Student authors who are presenting papers may be eligible for travel assistance. To apply, submit a letter no later than June 5, 2009 to:

About JEMJEM is a monthly archival technical journal of TMS and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Articles are reviewed, selected and edited by peers who serve as voluntary members of the editorial board, the board of associate editors or section editors.

JEM’s ContentJEM is a forum for the rapid circulation of the results of original research. It contains technical papers detailing critical new developments in the electronics field, as well as invited and contributed review papers on topics of current interest. The journal focuses on electronic memory and logic structures, magnetic-optical recording media, superlattices, packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization technology, superconductors, and low thermal-budget processing and includes general papers on electronic materials for device application, structure making, reliability and yield. Articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical and electronic properties of electronic materials are also included.
