Zener price

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zener Prize (also: Zener Gold Medal , 1965–1989: ICIFUAS Prize ) is an international award for scientific progress in the fields of materials science and physics with a focus on applications in mechanical spectroscopy and internal friction .

The award, formerly known as the ICIFUAS Award (1965–1989), was launched in honor of Clarence Zener's pioneering work on anelasticity and is awarded every 4 years. After Zener's death, it has been called the Zener Prize since 1993 and is awarded every 3 years. The award is made by the Commission of the Zener Prize , which is chaired by the chairman of the International Conference on Internal Friction and Mechanical Spectroscopy ( ICIFMS ) - formerly the International Conference on Internal Friction and Ultrasonic Damping in Solids, ICIFUAS (1956–2002).

The prize can be awarded in recognition of an important scientific discovery or a substantial contribution in the field of materials science and physics as a life's work. By 2017, the prize had been awarded 23 times. In 1973, 1977 and 1981 the IFICUAS Prize was not awarded. Each award winner receives a Zener gold medal and a diploma. Each Zener gold medal is minted in 23 carat gold and features a right profile picture of Clarence Zener on the front.
