2014 Rank Prize for envisioning strained-layer superlattices awarded to Sandia Fellow

April 22, 2014 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In 1982, then-Sandia National Laboratories researcher Gordon Osbourn published a theoretical paper that asserted the previously unthinkable: that ultra-thin layers of mismatched atomic lattices could overcome the strain of their union and successfully form a defect-free bond. Going against the grain of the times, Osbourn’s calculations stimulated...
