About the author
John Bardeen
36 books4 followersAmerican physicist John Bardeen shared Nobel Prize in 1956 for the development of the electronic transistor and in 1972 for a theory of superconductivity.
Althea Harmer bore John to Charles R. Bardeen, doctor, professor of anatomy, and dean of the medical school of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. After the death of Althea, when John about 12 years old circa 1920, his father married Ruth Hames, now Mistress Kenelm McCauley of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Bardeen served from 1938 as an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota. Bardeen married Jane Maxwell Bardeen in 1938. They parented children: James Maxwell Bardeen, William Allen Bardeen, and Elizabeth Ann Bardeen.
and from 1941 as a civilian at the naval ordnance laboratory in Washington, District of Columbia, to 1945. Work during the war influenced fields of ships for application to underwater ordnance and minesweeping.
After the war and in late 1945, he joined the solid state research group at the Bell telephone laboratories. After 1945, he researched mainly fields in semiconductors, metals, surface properties, and diffusion of atoms in solids. In 1951, the University of Illinois then appointed him professor of engineering.
Honors include the Stuart Ballentine medal of the Franklin institute, Philadelphia, in 1952. He joined as a fellow of the society and from 1954 served as a member of its council. The national academy of sciences elected Bardeen in 1954. He received the John Scott medal of the city of Philadelphia, an award, in 1955, jointly with Walter Houser Brattain, and the Buckley of the society in 1955. He won doctor of science with honors from Union college and from the University of Wisconsin.
Only this engineer, the person, won twice: first with William Bradford Shockley and Walter Houser Brattain for the invention.
In 1957, Bardeen and Leon Cooper and John Robert Schrieffer, colleagues, proposed the first successful explanation. Bardeen served as a member of council of the society to 1957 and on the editorial board of The Physical Review and Reviews of Modern Physics. After that time, further extensions and applications devoted much of his research effort. From 1959, he also joined as a member of the center for advanced study of the university. From 1959, he served as a member of the science advisory committee of the president of the United States to 1962. He received the Fritz London award for work in low temperature in 1962.
He won again with Leon Cooper and [author:John Robert Schrieffer for a fundamental convention, known for its three proponents.
He revolutionized the industry, allowed the information age to occur, and made possible almost every modern device from telephones to computers to missiles. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or medical imaging, its sub-tool, uses his second.
In 1990, LIFE Magazine apparently listed John Bardeen among one hundred most influential compatriots of the century.
