Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. RICHARD STEPHEN BERRY April 9, 1931–July 26, 2020 Elected to the NAS, 1980 We have prepared this memoir to bear witness to the life of R. Stephen (Steve) Berry, with emphasis on the view that a memorial is about reminding ourselves and others of more than his many and varied contributions to science; it is also to remind us of his personal warmth and freely offered friendship, of his generous support for all of us in a variety of situations, and of his loyalty to his friends and the institutions he served. The record of an individ- ual’s accomplishment is commonly taken to define his/ her legacy. Using that protocol, creative scientists are fortunate in that their contributions are visible, and those contributions endure, or not, on their own merits. Steve Berry was one of the most broadly ranging and influen- tial scientists in the world. His seminal experimental and By Stuart A. Rice theoretical contributions are distinguished by a keen eye and Joshua Jortner for new concepts and innovative and practical analyses. These contributions, which are remarkable in both scope and significance, have helped to shape our scientific perception. They have had, and continue to have, great influence on the development of chemistry, biophysics materials science, the science and technology related to the use, production, and conservation of energy, the societal applications of science and technology, and national and international science policy.

Rosenthal (*1863–1907) Nach Angabe von Diana Templeton-Killan, der Enkeltochter von Berta Kamm und somit Großnichte von Otto Stern (E-Mail vom 3.12.2015 an Horst Schmidt- Böcking) war Ottos Großvater Abraham Stern. Abraham hatte 5 Kinder mit seiner ersten Frau Nanni Freund. Nanni starb kurz nach der Geburt des fünften Kindes. Bald danach heiratete Abraham Berta Ben- der, mit der er 6 weitere Kinder hatte. Ottos Vater Oskar war das dritte Kind von Berta. Abraham und Nannis erstes Kind war Heinrich Stern (1833–1908). Heinrich hatte 4 Kinder.

Key Decisions The ExCom voted to move $100k of operating funds to an endowment for a new award. The ExCom voted that a new name (not Otto Laporte) should be chosen for this award. In the coming year, the Award committee (currently the Fluid Dynamics Prize committee) should establish the award criteria, making sure to distinguish the criteria from those associated with the Batchelor prize. The committee should suggest appropriate wording for the award application and make a recommendation on the naming of the award. The ExCom voted to move Newsletter publication to the first weeks of June and December each year. The ExCom voted to continue the Ad Hoc Committee on Media and Public Relations for two more years (through 2010). The ExCom voted that $15,000 per year in 2009 and 2010 be allocated for Media and Public Relations activities. Most of these funds would be applied toward continuing to use AIP media services in support of news releases and Virtual Pressroom activities related to the annual DFD meeting. Meeting Discussion 1.

Courtesy of AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Physics Today Collection KARL FERDINAND HERZFELD February 24, 1892–June 3, 1978 BY JOSEPH F. MULLIGAN ARL F. HERZFELD, BORN in Vienna, Austria, studied at the Kuniversity there and at the universities in Zurich and Göttingen and took courses at the ETH (Technical Insti- tute) in Zurich before receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Vienna in 1914. In 1925, after four years in the Austro- Hungarian Army during World War I and five years as Privatdozent in Munich with Professors Arnold Sommerfeld and Kasimir Fajans, he was named extraordinary professor of theoretical physics at Munich University. A year later he accepted a visiting professorship in the United States at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. This visiting position developed into a regular faculty appointment at Johns Hopkins, which he held until 1936. Herzfeld then moved to Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he remained until his death in 1978. As physics chairman at Catholic University until 1961, Herzfeld built a small teaching-oriented department into a strong research department that achieved national renown for its programs in statistical mechanics, ultrasonics, and theoretical research on the structure of molecules, gases, liquids, and solids. During his career Herzfeld published about 140 research papers on physics and chemistry, wrote 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS two important books: Kinetische Theorie der Wärme (1925), and (with T.

Harry grew up in and around Boston, MA, in a family that often struggled to pay the rent. On weekends, he and his brothers would earn a few dollars sifting sand on nearby Revere Beach for lost coins. He earned high marks at Cambridge & Latin high school and was awarded a Cambridge scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he entered in 1937 at age 16. He earned a B.S. in chemistry from MIT in 1941. While in college, Harry considered a University.

Not knowing which mechanism drives such high dissociation efficiency does not allow to draw clear design rules. The common approach answering this puzzle is that the binding energy must be lower due to delocalization, disorder or entropy considerations. However, using these theories to quantitatively reproduce the dissociation is challenging. Here, considering entropy and disorder, a new approach is being suggested using the exciton dissociation efficiency as the parameter to weigh the effect of the energetic disorder. The effective entropy-disorder (EED) model predicts the device- equivalent charge generation efficiency, and provides a consistent new definition for the effective binding energy (Ebeff).

  • Mathematical Chemistry! Is It? and If So, What Is It?
    Mathematical Chemistry! Is It? And if so, What Is It? Douglas J. Klein Abstract: Mathematical chemistry entailing the development of novel mathe- matics for chemical applications is argued to exist, and to manifest an extreme- ly diverse range of applications. Yet further it is argued to have a substantial history of well over a century, though the field has perhaps only attained a de- gree of recognition with a formal widely accepted naming in the last few dec- ades. The evidence here for the broad range and long history is by way of nu- merous briefly noted example sub-areas. That mathematical chemistry was on- ly recently formally recognized is seemingly the result of its having been somewhat disguised for a period of time – sometimes because it was viewed as just an unnamed part of physical chemistry, and sometimes because the rather frequent applications in other chemical areas were not always viewed as math- ematical (often involving somewhat ‘non-numerical’ mathematics). Mathemat- ical chemistry’s relation to and distinction from computational chemistry & theoretical chemistry is further briefly addressed. Keywords : mathematical chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, theoretical chemistry. 1. Introduction Chemistry is a rich and complex science, exhibiting a diversity of reproduci- ble and precisely describable predictions. Many predictions are quantitative numerical predictions and also many are of a qualitative (non-numerical) nature, though both are susceptible to sophisticated mathematical formaliza- tion. As such, it should naturally be anticipated that there is a ‘mathematical chemistry’, rather likely with multiple roots and with multiple aims. Mathe- matical chemistry should focus on mathematically novel ideas and concepts adapted or developed for use in chemistry (this view being much in parallel with that for other similarly named mathematical fields, in physics, or in biology, or in sociology, etc.
