The
IUVSTA Prize in Science was awarded to Professor Kunio Takayanagi
of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, for his accomplishments in the structural
determination and characterisation of surfaces and nano-wires at the atomic
level, through the development of unique ultra-high vacuum transmission
electron microscopy and diffraction techniques.
The IUVSTA Prize in Technology was awarded to Professor Wolf-Dieter Münz, Professor of Surface Engineering at the Materials Research Institute of Sheffield Hallam University, for pioneering advances in vacuum based technology of material coatings which impact a wide range of products used worldwide today. The scope of these products ranges from hard coatings to increase the lifetime of machine tools, to mass production of decorative finishes on various materials such as metals, plastics and ceramics. |
The IUVSTA Prize in Science was awarded to Prof. Joost W. M. Frenken of Leiden University, for his pioneering work in the development and application of scanning probe microscopy to study various dynamical processes at surfaces.
The IUVSTA Prize
in Technology was awarded to Dr. Martin P. Seah, of the National Physical
Laboratory, U.K., for his
contribution to the science, technology and application of surface chemical
analysis.
