AWARD OF THE 1999 FRITZ LONDON PRIZE
As communicated by the F. London Prize Committee
The Fritz London Prize in Low Temperature Physics will be awarded at the 22nd International Conference on Low Temperature Physics in Helsinki Finland this summer to:
Douglas F. Brewer (University of Sussex, United Kingdom), for his seminal experimental discoveries in adsorbed helium films, including the reduced transition temperatures and T2 specific heat; and for his finding of the linear temperature dependence of the specific heat of 3He; the surface-enhanced nuclear susceptibility of liquid 3He and his verificationof the minimum in the 3He melting curve;
Wolfgang Ketterle (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA), for his development of techniques needed to study Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute alkali gases, including the clover-leaf Ioffe-Pritchard trap, rf evaporation, optical trapping and non-destructive interrogation using phase contrast and dark-field imaging; and for his pioneering investigations of these systems, including experiments on sound propagation, the time development of Bose condensation, phenomena in a spinor condensate and quantum interference between two previously disconnected condensates, the last being a crucial step towards the realization of an atom laser;
Matti Krusius (Helsinki University of Technology, Finland), for hisimaginative and pioneering use of rotation combined with nuclear magnetic resonance to study various properties of superfluid 3He, including textures of the order parameter, the structure, pinning and collective behavior of several different types of vortex, the critical velocity under rotation, the effects of motion of the A-B interface and the systematics of nucleation of vorticity by neutron irradiation.
The Fritz London Memorial Award is an international prize to recognizeoutstanding contributions to low temperature physics, awarded every three years at the International Conference on Low Temperature Physics. It is supported by endowments administered by Duke University, due to the generosity of John Bardeen, of the organizers of LT20 and of Horst Meyer, and by a generous gift from Oxford Instruments.
