2009 IUPAP Young Scientist Prize Winners

Eiji Saitoh (C9)

Commission on Magnetism – C9

For the fabrication of highly original nanostructures and for the discovery of important spin transport phenomena, including the spin-Seebeck effect and the inverse spin-Hall effect.

 

Dr. Takashi Kimura (C9)

Commission on Magnetism – C9

For the study of spin transport in lateral metallic spin valves, and the observation of the pure spin-current induced magnetization reversal and the reversible spin Hall effect.

 

Dr. Sergio O. Valenzuela (C9)

Commission on Magnetism – C9

For significant contributions to nonlocal spin-detection methods, including the first electronic detection of the spin Hall effect and of pure spin currents

 

Johan Mauritsson (C15)

Commission on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics – C15

In recognition for the generation of attosecond pulse trains with a two-color field with only one pulse per infrared laser cycle and its application, the quantum stroboscope.

 

Dr. Timo Gans (C16)

Commission on Plasma Physics – C16

In recognition of his outstanding contribution, at an early
stage of his career, in developing very imaginative and highly sophisticated optical diagnostics which allowed deep understanding of the dynamics of  low-temperature plasmas, which are widely used in microelectronics,  photonics and many other emerging applications.

 

Benjamin Schlein (C18)

Commission on Mathematical Physics – C18

For outstanding results in mathematical analysis of many-body quantum systems, in particular, Bose gases

 

Rupert L. Frank (C18)

Commission on Mathematical Physics – C18

For outstanding results in analysis with application to quantum systems including solutions to some longstanding problems

 

Simone Warzel (C18)

Commission on Mathematical Physics – C18

For outstanding results in analysis of problems motivated by condensed matter physics, in particular, spectral and dynamical properties of random Schroedinger operators

 

Dr. Amanda S. Barnard (C20)

Commission on Computational Physics – C20

For methods of modelling the shape of nanostructures based on experimentally relevant physical parameters.
