Biographical sketches of authors
Christopher B. Murray
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (cbmurray@us.ibm.com). Dr. Murray is the manager of the Nanoscale Materials and Devices Department and contributes to the preparation and characterization of nanoscale materials. He joined IBM in 1995 after completing his Ph.D. studies in chemistry at MIT.
Shouheng Sun
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (ssun@us.ibm.com). Dr. Sun is a materials chemist who has developed leading synthetic routes for the preparation of monodisperse magnetic nanostructures. He joined IBM in 1996 after completing his Ph.D. studies in chemistry at Brown University.
Wolfgang Gaschler
BASF AG, Akiengesellschaft, ZkD-B001, Germany (Wolfgang.Gaschler@basf-ag.de). Dr. Gaschler was a visiting scientist at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center from 1999 to 2000. He carried out studies on semiconductor nanocrystal superlattices in collaboration with the Advanced Materials Research Institute (AMRI) at the University of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Hugh Doyle
National Microelectronics Research Center, University College Cork, Lee Naltings, Cork, Ireland (hugh_doyle@hotmail.com). Dr. Doyle was a visiting scientist at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center from 1998 to 2000 developing computational models of nanoscale structures. He joined IBM in 1998 after completing his Ph.D. studies in chemistry at the University College of Dublin, Ireland.
Theodore A. Betley
California Institute of Technology, Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 1200 E. California Blvd., Pasadena, California 91125 (betley@its.caltech.edu). In 1999 Mr. Betley worked as a summer intern at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, contributing to the synthesis of monodisperse magnetic nanocrystals. In 2000, upon completing his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at the University of Michigan, Mr. Betley began his graduate studies in chemistry at the California Institute of Technology.
Cherie R. Kagan
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (cheriek@us.ibm.com). Dr. Kagan is a Research Staff Member in the Physical Sciences Department at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. She received a B.S.E. degree in materials science and engineering and a B.A. degree in mathematics, both from the University of Pennsylvania, in 1991. In 1996, she received her Ph.D. degree in electronic materials from MIT. Her thesis work focused on the self-assembly of close-packed solids of semiconductor nanocrystals and the unique electronic and optical properties that arise from cooperative interactions between neighboring nanocrystals. In 1996, Dr. Kagan went as a Postdoctoral Fellow to Bell Laboratories, where she built a scanning confocal Raman microscope to study the formation of holograms in multicomponent photopolymers. In 1998 she joined IBM, where she has been investigating the optical and electrical properties of organic–inorganic hybrid materials and the application and patterning of organic–inorganic hybrids and soluble organic semiconductors in thin-film field-effect transistors.
