Printed on acid-free paper Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface Manuel Cardona was an important figure in science, in general, and in condensed matter physics, in particular. In addition he was an exceptional human being as evidenced by his support of human rights and ethics in science and his deep knowledge of culture, history and languages. This book is meant to document Manuel’s achievements and his incredible network of scientists around the world and also to show the many facets of his fascinating character. In practically all of the following contributions, the reader will find descriptions and accounts of both his personal and scientific lives. A set of words converted to images meant to summarize these facets has been gathered on the preceeding page of this book. The first word is “Inge”, and indeed Manuel’s life (and the life of many of us) would have not been the same without his wife Inge. She was inseparable from him and all of us have enjoyed her hospitality and also somehow profited from her support for Manuel. Every time one of the visitors, postdocs, students would need something at the personal level, there was Inge providing all the required help. None of us will ever forget her courtesy during the parties at the Knappenweg. On many occasions, Inge and Manuel together have been as close to us as members of our own families. Other accounts appearing throughout this book relate to aspects of Cardona’s professional life such as: science, knowledge, physics, research, university, PhDs, students, materials, semiconductors, experimental, theory, Raman scattering, spectroscopy, light, synchrotron radiation, optical properties, excitons, bands, electronic states, energy, and temperature. Work was also something inseparable from, and intrinsic to, Cardona, but a special kind of work, a work that one enjoys and that spreads a contagious passion for physics. Cardona never mentioned to his collaborators that they should work harder; it just came by itself when one worked with him. These activities are linked to locations all over the world, but special places appear recurrently in the book: Spain, the US, Germany, Latin America, Barcelona, Brown, Stuttgart, Max-Planck-Institute. In these places, he contributed to the education of a cohort of students and scientists, whose common leitmotif has been vii viii Preface to follow his attitude towards science. Those of us who had the enormous luck to interact, learn and work with Manuel will ever keep in our memories how working in his group was like being in a nirvana for doing science. Everybody helped everybody in a friendly atmosphere, where no negative competition was present. Being there aroused the feeling of belonging to a privileged group of people. Other words appear conspicuously on the preceeding page. “First one”: indeed Cardona, was a pioneer and therefore the first one to start many new research activities in Solid State Physics. “Many” is linked to these facets of his life: the many languages he spoke, the many subjects he could be involved into, his incredible memory and ability to relate facts that enabled him deal with many ideas simultaneously (he mentioned at some time in his later life that a signal of aging was losing the ability of multi-tasking, especially participating in conversations), the many friends, colleagues and disciples that never will forget him.

    Manuel Cardona 1934–2014 A Biographical Memoir by Marvin L. Cohen, Francisco de la Cruz, Lothar Ley, Miles V. Klein, Michael Thewalt, and Peter Y. Yu ©2016 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. MANUEL CARDONA September 7, 1934–July 2, 2014 Elected to the NAS, 1987 Manuel Cardona Castro was born in Barcelona, Spain, and passed away unexpectedly in Stuttgart, Germany—while working at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Solid State Research—at the age of 79. The Spanish Civil War had started four years after he was born, and his family suffered the consequences of that bloody conflict along with so many other Spaniards. The horror of war left a deep and lasting impression on Cardona and made him a champion for international peace. During his lifetime he was a citizen of three coun- tries: Spain, of course; his adopted country of the United States, where he started his scientific research career and where all three of his children were born; and Germany, By Marvin L. Cohen, where he settled down, raised his family, and was finally Francisco de la Cruz, laid to rest. Lothar Ley, Milev V. Klein, Michael Thewalt , Cardona was a worldly individual. As a boy he traveled and Peter Y. Yu throughout Europe and learned a number of languages, which reflected one of his well-known skills. He was fluent in German, English, and French in addition to his native languages of Spanish and Catalan.

  • Turning the Ship: the Transformation of DESY, 1993–2009
    Phys. Perspect. Ó 2017 The Author(s). This article is an open access publication DOI 10.1007/s00016-017-0209-4 Physics in Perspective Turning the Ship: The Transformation of DESY, 1993–2009 Thomas Heinze*, Olof Hallonstenf , and Steffi Heineckeà This article chronicles the most recent history of the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) located in Hamburg, Germany, with particular emphasis on how this national laboratory founded for accelerator-based particle physics shifted its research program toward multi-disciplinary photon science. Synchrotron radiation became DESY’s central experimental research program through a series of changes in its organizational, scientific, and infrastructural setup and the science policy context. Furthermore, the turn toward photon science is part of a broader transformation in the late twentieth century in which nuclear and particle physics, once the dominating fields in national and international science budgets, gave way to increasing investment in the materials sciences and life sciences. Synchrotron radiation research took a lead position on the experimental side of these growing fields and became a new form of big science, generously funded by governments and with user communities expanding across both academia and industry. Key words: synchrotron radiation; photon science; particle accelerators; transformation; DESY. Introduction The Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) is a German national laboratory for photon science and particle and accelerator physics located in Hamburg, with an outstation in Zeuthen near Berlin. This article recounts DESY’s recent history, with particular emphasis on how a laboratory once founded for accelerator-based high energy physics shifted its research program to multi-disciplinary ‘‘photon science,’’ a collective name for the use of synchrotron radiation and free-electron laser for the study of materials, including biomaterials.
