PARADIM Co-director Darrell Schlom received the 2024 FMD John Bardeen Award. This award given by the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society recognizes an individual who has made outstanding contributions and is a leader in the field of electronic materials. Schlom has been recognized for his pioneering work on the synthesis of functional oxide materials using molecular beam epitaxy.
Platform for the Accelerated Realization, Analysis, and Discovery of Interface Materials (PARADIM)
PARADIM helps users design and create new interface materials — materials that do not exist in nature — with unprecedented properties for the next generation of electronic devices. Creating new interface materials with unprecedented properties, by design rather than by serendipity, is accomplished in PARADIM through a synergistic set of user facilities dedicated to theory (figuring out where to put the atoms for useful behavior), synthesis (putting the atoms in the targeted positions), and characterization (seeing that the atoms are indeed in the desired positions).
