  1. Winner of 2011 Acta Materialia Gold Medal and Prize www.sciencedirect.com Acta Materialia 58 (2010) 5545–5546 The MRS Symposium on Frontiers in Thin Film Epitaxy and Nanostructured Materials (April 24-29, 20111)was dedicated to Professor Jay Narayan, The John Fan Family Distinguished Chair Professor, North Carolina State University

  2. 2011 MRS Forum Highlights (MRS Spring Meeting- April 24-29, 2011) The MRS ActaMaterialia Gold Medal Symposium on Frontiers in Thin Film Epitaxy and Nanostructured Materials was hugely successful at the 2011 MRS Spring Meeting, April 24-29. The MRS Forum, sponsored by Kopin Corporation, was dedicated to the seminal research contributions of Jagdish (Jay) Narayan, winner of 2011 ActaMaterialia Gold Medal and Prize in the field of materials science and engineering, and to his leadership in materials science worldwide through professional societies and the National Science Foundation. Professor Narayan is the John C. C. Fan Family Distinguished Chair Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University. He also holds the Distinguished Visiting Scientist appointment at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

  3. 2011 MRS Forum Highlights (MRS Spring Meeting- April 24-29, 2011) Contd. The MRS Forum, which included a dozen Invited Talks and twice as many Invited Short Presentations, addressed Narayan’s pioneering contributions in fundamentals of thin film epitaxy across the misfit scale through the paradigm of domain matching epitaxy, novel thin film heterostructures integrated with silicon, three-dimensional epitaxial self-assembled structures, quantum-well nanostructuring leading to Nano-Pocket LED structures, fundamentals of ion-solid and laser-solid interactions, laser annealing, rapid thermal processing, pulsed laser deposition, and formation of novel supersaturated semiconductor alloys and nanostructured materials for next-generation devices and systems.

  4. 2011 MRS Forum Highlights (MRS Spring Meeting- April 24-29, 2011) Contd. The Forum specifically addressed the role of defects and interfaces (grain boundaries including) in controlling the properties of thin film heterostructures and nanostructured materials. The control or engineering of defects and interfaces will be critical to our ability in harnessing and realizing the fruits of nanostructured materials. Atomic structure and bonding characteristics of atoms near surfaces and interfaces were presented with unprecedented Sub A resolution to establish correlations with properties and obtain and preserve critical advantages of nanoscale materials. Fundamentals of laser-solid interactions and theories of laser annealing and pulsed laser deposition, pioneered by Narayan’s group, led to novel rapid thermal processing and novel materials with unique and improved properties. Narayan’s discovery of domain matching epitaxy addresses epitaxy across the misfit scale for epitaxial thin film heterostructures and three-dimensional assembled nanodots, which are needed to integrate functionalities on a silicon chip.
