Schmidt of North Carolina A&T State University (Greensboro, North Carolina), Taisuke Ohta and Thomas E. Beechem, both of the Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, New Mexico) for their paper: “Strain and charge carrier coupling in epitaxial graphene.”
Schmidt, an assistant professor of nanophysics at North Carolina A&T State University, submitted the paper. He will receive a 500 Euro Amazon gift card, in addition to the award. Schmidt is a former member of the physical chemistry department at Ruhr-University (Bochum, Germany), where he did portions of the work presented in the paper.
Each year the WITec Paper Award honors the best peer-reviewed scientific paper including results and images acquired with a WITec microscope system. A WITec panel evaluates the submitted papers in terms of scientific relevance, data quality, and the level of instrument-feature utilization.
