Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize
The Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize is an annual award in solid state physics (condensed matter physics) given by the American Physical Society . The award was donated in 1952 by Bell Laboratories , of which Oliver E. Buckley was president , and is endowed with 10,000 US dollars (as of 2012).
