ALAN J. HEEGER Born: Sioux City, IA, January 22, 1936 Alan J. Heeger and his colleagues discovered conducting polymers, a novel class of materials with electrical and optical properties like metals and semiconductors, coupled with the mechanical and processing advantages of polymers. They won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2000 "for the discovery and development of conductive polymers". 1936-1962: Education 1957 - B.S. with High Distinction, University of Nebraska 1961 - Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley ALAN J. HEEGER was raised in Nebraska, whence he had come from his hometown of Sioux City, Iowa. Here he took an early interest in science and mathematics. "I didn't find it particularly easy," he said. "In fact, that was part of the reason I wanted to go farther with it. There must be something here I can understand." He went to the University of Nebraska for his undergraduate studies, where he picked engineering as his major - for one quarter. With no experience in the subject, he changed his major to physics. But something bothered him. "Somehow," he said, "I always felt this wasn't the real stuff yet, and I was looking forward to graduate school for that." Intellectually curious, he early attracted attention in the physics department. Retired physics professors today recall him as "outstanding", "enthusiastic"; even teachers he did not know knew of him. As a graduate student at UC Berkeley, Heeger got his chance. "I remember the first day in the laboratory," he said. "The courses are very important, but I just didn't feel I was really doing science until I was doing my own science, and that was such a thrill for me. I got a big kick out of it."

Alan J. Heeger Professor, Physics and Materials A lan J. Heeger won the 2000 Nobel Prize in chemistry with two other scientists for the discovery and development of electrically conducting polymers, and he continues his laboratory research at UCSB. He believes that the key to future progress in the sciences is in interdisciplinary collaborations. Heeger is also chief scientist for UNIAX, a company he founded that was acquired last year by Dupont. It focuses on the uses of plastic electronics commercial products. In 1977 Heeger and his colleagues discovered conducting polymers, a novel class of materials with electrical and optical properties like metals and semiconductors coupled with the mechanical and processing advantages of polymers. Applications of work by Heeger and his associates include conducting polymer blends for electromagnetic shielding and for antistatic packaging, and semiconducting polymers for use in the emerging field of plastic electronic devices, which already include diodes. “Even though I received the Nobel Prize in chemistry,” he says, “I still think like a physicist.”

And then, he had a professorship there between 1967 and 1982. Since 1982, he is a Professor of Physics at University of California at Santa Barbara, and a director for the Institute for Polymers and Organic Solids. In 1990 he founded UNIAX Corporation where he is Chair of the Board. His major contributions of Organic chemistry are the discoveries that a thin film of polyacetylene could be oxidised with iodine vapor, increasing its electrical conductivity a billion times. While metal wires that conduct electricity can be made to light up when a strong enough current is passing - as we are reminded of every time we switch on a light bulb, Polymers can also be made to light up, but by another principle, namely electroluminescence Reference : The Royal Swedish Academy of sciences, ‘The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2000’, 10 October 2000, URL

8. Alan Heeger - Autobiography alan heeger – Autobiography. I was born on a bitter cold morning(20º F below zero) in Sioux City (Iowa) on January 22, 1936. http://www.nobel.se/chemistry/laureates/2000/heeger-autobio.html

The Heeger family came to Sioux City (Iowa) from Russia as Jewish immigrants in 1904 when my father was a small boy (age 4). My mother was born in Omaha (Nebraska); she was a first generation child of Jewish immigrants. My mother and father were married in the midst of the Great Depression. My early years were spent in Akron (Iowa), a small midwestern town of 1000 people, approximately 35 miles from Sioux City. I went to elementary school in Akron. My brother, Gerald, was born in Akron. My father was the manager and, subsequently the owner, of a general store that served the local farming community. I have a strong memory of the day I was told that my father had a weak heart and that he had to go to the hospital. He died when I was nine years old on the same day that Franklin Roosevelt died; it was his 45th birthday. After my father's death, we moved to Omaha, so my mother could be closer to her family. She raised us as a single parent in a house that we shared with her sister and her sister's children. One of my earliest memories (long before my father died), is of my mother telling me of the importance of getting a university education. When she graduated from high school, she received a scholarship to go on to university but went to work instead; she was needed by her parents to help support the family. It was always clear to me that it was my responsibility to go to university; prior to my generation no one on either side of my family had an education that went beyond high school. I and my brother were the first in our family to receive the PhD degree.

His current interests are focused on light emission from semiconducting polymers, including photoluminescence, light-emitting diodes, light-emitting electrochemical cells, and lasers. The MRL seed project (with Prof. S. DenBaars as co-PI) involves the development of hybrid structures of LEDs and lasers; in these hybrid structures the InGaN LED is used either to pump the photoluminescence from conjugated polymers for generation of white light (and high brightness LEDs of all colors) or to pump polymer lasers and thereby create a class of electrically pumped diode lasers with colors that span the visible spectrum.
