The Department of Special Collections at the University of California, Santa Barbara's Davidson Library is pleased to announce the donation of 26
linear feet of personal papers by Walter Kohn, a UCSB professor of physics who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1998. Highlights of the donation include files from the 1950s relating to Kohn's
research into electron structure, correspondence and research from the 1980s on the development of a
|
program to study the emerging field of quasicrystals, materials concerning Kohn's
involvement with various organizations devoted to peace and global conflict resolution, and materials relating to
UCSB's
Institute for Theoretical Physics, of which Kohn was founding director. The donation is currently being processed and will be made available for research later this year.
