University of Washington
Citation:
"For her innovative application of electron spectroscopies to surfaces and interfaces that has elucidated the importance of interfacial reactions on the structure, properties and morphology of both the interface and growing film in systems involving dissimilar materials, especially when heteroepitaxy is involved." Background:
Marjorie Olmstead's primary research effort probes the chemical, structural, and kinetic constraints controlling the heteroepitaxy of strongly disparate materials. She also studies the role of local geometry and electronic structure on photoelectron energies and satellite excitations in insulators. Her photoelectron spectroscopy and diffraction experiments investigating ionic crystal growth on semiconductor surfaces showed the importance of interfacial reactions, lattice mismatch, and the competition among nucleation pathways in determining the structure and morphology of a heteroepitaxial film. Dr. Olmstead is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Washington, Seattle. She received her B.A. (1979 from Swathmore College, and her M.A. (1982) and Ph. D (1985) from the University of California, Berkeley. Her dissertation probed the interrelated optical and structural properties of Si and Ge surfaces. After a year and a half at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, she returned to Berkeley as an Assistant Professor of Physics in 1986. She joined the faculty at the University of Washington in 1991.

Maria Goeppert - Mayer (1906 - 1972) Atomphisikerin, Fizyk 1963: Nobelpreis für Phisik, Laureat Nagrody Nobla z fizyki
Maria Goeppert wurde am 28. Juni 1906 im oberschlesischen Kattowitz geboren. 1910 zog ihre Familie nach Göttingen, wo ihr Vater eine Professur für Kinderheilkunde erhalten hatte. Die Göttinger Universität entwickelte sich zu der Zeit nach und nach zu einem Zentrum der Mathematik und der Atomphysik. Durch ihren Vater, der sie sehr förderte, wuchs Maria Goeppert in einem Kreis von WissenschaftlerInnen auf, zu dem auch einige spätere Nobelpreisträger gehörten.
Die Mutter war Lehrerin für Fremdsprachen und unterrichtete Klavier. Bald jedoch hängte sie ihren Beruf an den Nagel. In der Erziehung von Maria Goeppert machten die Eltern keinen Unterschied zwischen Jungen und Mädchen. Das Besondere in Marias Jugend war ihren Berichten nach der Vater: "Ein großer sanfter Bär von Mann", der ihr oft sagte: "Werde nie eine Frau, wenn Du groß bist". Er erklärte seiner Tochter, dass das Leben als Frau langweilig sei; es bestünde nur aus Putzen, Kochen und Einkaufen. "Du wirst einen Beruf erlernen, du wirst studieren und etwas Interessantes tun."
Nachdem Maria 1921 die Volksschule beendet hatte, stand außer Frage, dass sie studieren sollte. Wie für viele andere Frauen gab es für Maria Goeppert nur die Möglichkeit, extern das Abitur an einem Jungengymnasium nachzuholen. 1924 schrieb sie sich an der Göttinger Universität im Fach Mathematik ein, wechselte aber drei Jahre später zur Physik. "Mathematik ist wie Rätsellösen. Physik ist auch wie Rätsellösen, aber es sind Rätsel, die die Natur geschaffen hat, nicht der menschliche Geist."

Report from the Fifth Annual Maria Goeppert-Mayer Symposium
"All of the symposium talks this year, as in previous years, were united by their attention to interactions and interfaces, and all the talks illustrated the interdisciplinarity that has become the hallmark of this event," said symposium co-organizers Kim Baldridge, senior principal scientist at SDSC and adjunct associate professor of chemistry in the UCSD Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Tammy Dwyer, associate professor of chemistry at the University of San Diego. In addition to five invited speakers, the symposium featured nearly 30 posters presented by members of research groups at Arizona State University, Caltech, UCSD, UCLA, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and the Weizmann Institute (Israel). More than 120 people attended the lectures and poster session. Maria Goeppert-Mayer (1906-1972).

Baldridge and University of San Diego Associate Professor of Chemistry Tammy J. Dwyer. Four previous symposia organized by Baldridge have attracted large audiences. "The interdisciplinarity of chemistry, physics, and molecular biology is more and more apparent to researchers in all these fields," Baldridge said, "and our goal has been to organize a truly interdisciplinary symposium to memorialize one of the first and best exemplars of the unity of these sciences, Maria Goeppert-Mayer." Goeppert-Mayer, whose only formal academic post was her final one as professor of chemistry at UCSD from 1959 until her death in 1972, was a member of the National Academy of Sciences (elected in 1956) and co-recipient of the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics along with J. Hans D. Jensen and Eugene Wigner. Web-based biographical information on Mayer and her extraordinary career is available at this SDSC site "Because the symposia have attracted ever larger crowds," Baldridge said, "we are asking this year that people register

Katowice (then Germany, now Poland)
An accomplished physicist, Goeppert-Mayer made numerous contributions to the field of physics and was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for theoretical physics. Educated at the University of Goettingen, Germany, Mayer was initially attracted to math, but later shifted to physics. After her marriage in 1930, she left Germany for Johns Hopkins University, where her husband, Joseph E. Mayer, taught in the chemistry department. She received an assistantship in the physics department at Johns Hopkins. For most of her career, nepotism rules at universities where her husband worked prevented Meyer from holding full-time positions. During WWII, she worked on the Manhattan Project. In 1946, the Mayers moved to Chicago where, as a senior physicist at the newly formed Argonne National Laboratory, her interests turned to nuclear physics. She collaborated with Hans D. Jensen to publish Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure in 1955. In 1963, she and Jensen shared the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work in models of the nucleus of atoms. In 1960, the Mayers moved to the University of California, San Diego, where she was appointed professor of physics, her first full-time paid position.

Maria Goeppert Mayer The Granger Collection, New York City (b. June 28, 1906, Kattowitz, Ger.d. Feb. 20, 1972, San Diego, Calif., U.S.), German physicist who shared one-half of the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physics with J. Hans D. Jensen of West Germany for their proposal of the shell nuclear model . (The other half of the prize was awarded to Eugene P. Wigner of the United States for unrelated work.) The great stability and abundance of nuclei that have a particular number of neutrons (such as 50, 82, or 126) and the same special number of protons was explained by Mayer in 1949 in terms of the shell nuclear model. This model explained the detailed properties of atomic nuclei in terms of a structure of shells occupied by the protons and neutrons. She and Jensen jointly wrote Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure

MARIA GOEPPERT MAYER
June 28,1906-February 20,1972
BY ROBERT G. SACHS
WHEN IN 1963 she received the Nobel Prize in Physics,Maria Goeppert Mayer was the second woman in history to win that prize—the first being Marie Curie, who had received it sixty years earlier—and she was the third woman in history to receive the Nobel Prize in a science category. This accomplishment had its beginnings in her early exposure to an intense atmosphere of science, both at home and in the surrounding university community, a community providing her with the opportunity to follow her inclinations and to develop her remarkable talents under the guidance of the great teachers and scholars of mathematics and physics. Throughout her full and gracious life, her science continued to be the theme about which her activities were centered, and it culminated in her major contribution to the understanding of the structure of the atomic nucleus, the spin-orbit coupling shell model of nuclei.

Argonne History
Nobelist Maria Goeppert Mayer,
Maria Goeppert Mayer shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in physics for her research on the shell model of the atomic nucleus. (Click the image to see a larger version of the photo.) Argonne's tradition of excellence is reflected in the achievements of Met Lab and Argonne scientists that have led to many prestigious national and international awards. Among the Nobel Prize winners was an Argonne physicist who shared the 1963 Nobel Prize for physics. When Fermi left Columbia to direct the Met Lab project, Goeppert Mayer took over his courses and worked with Harold Urey on separating uranium isotopes as part of the Manhattan Project. The Mayers did follow Fermi to the University of Chicago in 1945 to continue research at the Institute of Nuclear Studies. Her position remained an unpaid "voluntary" one. One of her former students at Johns Hopkins, Robert Sachs, brought her to Argonne at "a nice consulting salary." Sachs would later become Argonne's director. While there, she learned most of her nuclear theory and set up a system of "magic" numbers to represent the numbers of protons and neutrons, arranged in shells, in the atom's nucleus. While collecting data to support nuclear shells, she was at first unable to marshal a theoretical explanation. During a discussion of the problem with Fermi, he casually asked: "Incidentally, is there any evidence of spin-orbit coupling?" Goeppert Mayer was stunned. She recalled: "When he said it, it all fell into place. In 10 minutes I knew... I finished my computations that night. Fermi taught it to his class the next week." Goeppert Mayer's 1948 theory explained why some nuclei were more stable than others and why some elements were rich in isotopes.
