Professor John Hardy: Physicist celebrated for his work in the field of lattice dynamics
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011The physicist John Hardy was an international authority in the field of lattice dynamics – the vibrations of atoms within crystals – and was responsible for the development of the famous Deformation Dipole Model for calculating the vibrational properties of insulators. He started his career in England, but moved to the University of Nebraska in 1966, and spent the rest of his life there ...
