Extract

The Von Hippel Award is especially significant to me for several reasons. The name Von Hippel is legendary in the halls of Building 13 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I have worked for the last 12 years. Professor Von Hippel was one of the first to appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of materials research and engineering, and his insulation laboratory at MIT provided an early prototype for the National Science Foundation-supported system of interdisciplinary materials research laboratories in existence today. These laboratories, both at MIT and earlier at Cornell, have helped me in my research in many ways over the years.

Also I have been a recent councillor of the Materials Research Society and have been privileged to witness the phenomenal growth of MRS at first hand. The stature of the Von Hippel Award must be increasing at least in proportion to this growth. I, therefore, feel very honored and grateful indeed! I would also like to add that much of my work has been done in collaboration with valued colleagues and students. They deserve a substantial share of this award.

Over the years, my research has been devoted mainly to the experimental study of crystal defects and their behavior. These defects can be classified according to their dimensionality as shown in the accompanying table, and they are involved in one way, or another, with a host of phenomena in crystalline materials. Since I address a rather diverse audience, it might be appropriate to discuss some of the history of lattice vacancy research and some of the details of my personal contribution to it.
