AWARDS
Awards
for Outstanding Contributions in the Field of Superconductivity
The prizes will be given at the Award ceremony at the opening of the M2S-HTSC-VII conference. Each prize winner will be invited to deliver the Mathias, Bardeen or Onnes Lecture to be scheduled during the conference.
Bernd T. Matthias Prize
The Matthias Prize is awarded in
recognition to innovative contributions to the material aspects of
Superconductivity. Sponsored by Texas Center for Superconductivity and
Advanced Materials The committee of the Bernd T. Matthias Prize has decided to award Jun Akimitsu of Aoyama Gakuin University for his discoveries of novel superconducting compounds MgB2 and Bi-Sr-Cu-O; and of superconductivity Nd-Ce-Sr-Cu-O and compressed (Sr,Ca)14Cu24O41, that have led to the advancement in TC, opened up new subfields of research and offered new avenues to practical superconducting wire fabrications.
John Bardeen Prize
The Bardeen Prize is awarded for theoretical works which has provided significant insights on the nature of Superconductivity and have led to verifiable predictions. The committe of the John Bardeen Prize has decided to award Anatoly Larkin of University of Minnesota, David Nelson of Harvard University and Valerii Vinokur of Argonne National Laboratory for their contributions to the theory of vortex matter.
H. Kamerlingh Onnes Prize
The Onnes Prize is awarded for outstanding experiments which illuminate the nature of Superconductivity other than materials. Sponsored by Elsevier, Publisher of Physica C-Superconductivity and its Applications. The committe of the Kamerlingh Onnes Prize has decided to award George Crabtree of Argonne National Laboratory and Eli Zeldov of Weizman Institute for pioneering and seminal experiments which elucidated the vortex phase diagram in high temperature superconductors under various conditions of disorder and anisotropy.
