Extractions: I was born on September 23, 1915 to my parents, David H. and Daisy B. Shull, in the section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known as Glenwood, which obviously relates to their selection of my middle name. I was preceded by an older sister, Evalyn May, and an older brother, Perry Leo, so that I grew up as the baby in the family. Both my father and mother had origins in rural, central Pennsylvania, in farming sections of Perry County. After moving with his then family to the big city, Pittsburgh, my father started a small business that evolved into a hardware store and an associated home repair service. Among the other research programs being pursued by the NYU department was the study of neutron interactions with materials as started by Alan Mitchell and carried on by Martin Whitaker. Using a Ra-Be neutron source surrounded by a paraffin howitzer, a modest beam of thermalized neutrons was available for experimentation and, during my period at the Heights, this was directed towards a search for the expected paramagnetic scattering from certain materials. Theoretical prediction of this had been given by O. Halpern and M. Johnson and their students in the Department. I was familiar with this problem through my contemporary graduate student William Bright who worked with Whitaker on the experiment and indeed found myself working on the same problem a decade later.
Clifford G. Shull Wins Physics Nobel Prize clifford G. shull Wins Physics nobel Prize. By Daniel C. StevensonNews Editor Professor Emeritus of Physics clifford G. shull will http://the-tech.mit.edu/V114/N48/shull.48n.html
Extractions: Professor Emeritus of Physics Clifford G. Shull will share this year's Nobel Prize in Physics for his development of neutron scattering techniques to analyze condensed matter. The $930,000 award was announced by the Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden on Wednesday. Shull, 79, will share the prize with Bertram N. Brockhouse of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Shull is the fourth member of the MIT physics faculty to win the prize. "It is very exciting to be honored in this fashion," Shull said. "It's all the more exciting" that it happened over 40 years after the work was done, he said. The neutron scattering techniques developed by Shull and his colleagues are "tools for learning things about materials," Shull said at a press conference on Wednesday. Using these techniques scientists can find "very basic information that determines the physical properties of a material." "In simple terms, Clifford G. Shull has helped answer the question of where atoms are,' and Bertram N. Brockhouse the question of what atoms do'," according to the Nobel citation. Shull received "a very, very well deserved prize," said Professor of Physics and Department Chair Ernst J. Moniz.

Shull, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1994, died on March 31 at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Medford, MA, following a brief illness. Professor Shull was 85 and lived in Lexington, MA. Professor Shull shared the 1994 Nobel Prize with Professor Bertram S. Brockhouse of McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. "Clifford G. Shull has helped answer the question of where atoms 'are' and Bertram N. Brockhouse, the question of what atoms 'do,'" the Nobel citation said. Professor Shull's prize was awarded for his pioneering work in neutron scattering, a technique that reveals where atoms are within a material like ricocheting bullets reveal where obstacles are in the dark. When a beam of neutrons is directed at a given material, the neutrons bounce off, or are scattered by, atoms in the sample being investigated. The neutrons' directions change, depending on the location of the atoms they hit, and a diffraction pattern of the atoms' positions can then be obtained. Understanding where atoms are in a material and how they interact with one another is the key to understanding a material's properties.

Extractions: in full CLIFFORD GLENWOOD SHULL (b. Sept. 23, 1915, Pittsburgh, Pa., U.S.), American physicist who was awarded part of the 1994 Nobel Prize for Physics for his development of neutron-scattering techniquesin particular, neutron diffraction, a process that enabled scientists to better explore the atomic structure of matter. He shared the prize with Canadian physicist Bertram N. Brockhouse , who conducted separate but concurrent work in the field. Shull graduated from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (B.S., 1937) and from New York University (Ph.D., 1941) and began a career as a research physicist. His award-winning work was completed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories in Tennessee from 1946 to 1955, under the leadership of Ernest O. Wollan, the pioneer of neutron-scattering research. In the technique of neutron diffraction, a beam of single-wavelength neutrons is passed through the material under study. Neutrons hitting atoms of the target material are scattered into a pattern that, when recorded on photographic film, yields information about the relative positions of atoms in the material. Shull was also one of the first to demonstrate magnetic diffraction, and he helped to develop instrumentation for the routine crystallographic analysis of neutrons. From 1955 until his retirement in 1986 he was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Extractions: Professor Emeritus Clifford G. Shull, a Nobel Prize winner in physics in 1994, passed away Saturday after a short illness. He was 85 years old. Shull is perhaps best known as the co-recipient of the 1994 Nobel Prize in physics, along with Professor Bertram S. Brockhouse of McMaster University in Canada, for his pioneering research into thermal neutron scattering. Shull a dedicated teacher Although he retired from MIT in 1986, he continued to stay involved in the MIT research community. Shull was born in Pittsburgh, Pa. and received his SB in physics from Carnegie Institute of Technology, now Carnegie Mellon University, in 1937. Four years later, Shull earned the PhD from New York University. Shull lived in Lexington, Mass. and is survived by his wife, Martha-Nuel Summer, three sons: John C. of Texas, Robert D. of Maryland, and William F. Shull of South Carolina.. He is also survived by five grandchildren. This story was published on Tuesday, April 3, 2001.

Extractions: No scientists at MIT received Nobel Prizes this year, for the first time since 1992. Since 1990, more than a total of five MIT researchers have been awarded Nobel Prizes. The prizes awarded to MIT faculty over the last three years covered all three of the the Nobel Prize science categories: physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine. There are currently 10 Nobel laureates on the MIT faculty and one in the medical department. President Charles M. Vest downplayed the importance of the lack of any MIT Nobel laureates this year. "We should not lose sight of the fact that Nobels are the reward, not the goal," he said. "Our job is to focus on intellectual excellence and innovation." Vice President and Dean for Research J. David Litster PhD '65 echoed these sentiments. "We're delighted when we win a Nobel Prize, but we don't win one every year," he said. Litster said that this year's dearth of prizes was nothing out of the ordinary. "If you look back over the years, you'll probably find that we don't win one more often than we do," he said. "The average number of prizes per year is significantly less than one," Litster said. "The large number we've won recently isn't necessarily representative."

Ken Finkelstein CHESS *********************************************************** I received some sad news last night and I thought you would want to know about it as well. Cliff Shull died on Saturday 3/31/01, apparently from failing kidneys. Mike Horne (a friend and colleague from Cliff's lab) told me that he had gotten a call from Bob Shull, one of Cliff's sons, who said that Cliff had kidney problems over the last year or so, but in fact never told anyone, including his children about it. An Obituary (printed below) appeared in the Boston Globe on Tuesday and there should be one in the New York Times today. There will be calling hours at a funeral home in Lexington, Mass. on Thursday (I'm sorry I don't have the address) and a memorial service at MIT on Friday 4/6/01. The contact for the MIT service is Marc Kastner at the Physics Department. Cliff's son Bob works at NIST and his email address is robert.shull at nist.gov.

Extractions: Former Piano Professor Nelson Whitaker Worked Behind Enemy Lines in WW II Nelson Whitaker, professor of piano emeritus, died earlier this month at the age of 77. A classical pianist, Whitaker studied at the Juilliard School of Music and the Conservatoire National in Paris as well as at the University of Texas, the Carnegie Institute of Technology and the University of Pittsburgh. He joined the Department of Music faculty in 1948 and taught piano for 46 years before retiring in 1994. In addition to teaching, he performed with the Cleveland Orchestra and at Carnegie Hall in New York City. "Nelson was a stimulating intellectual," said Ralph Zitterbart, associate professor of piano. "He could discuss anything, philosophy, politics, literature, economics and of course, music. "He was also one of the most dedicated teachers, always putting the welfare of the student first. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. I feel fortunate to have been one of those people," Zitterbart said.
