Professor Robert Joseph Cava is a solid-state chemist at Princeton University, where he holds the title Russell Wellman Moore Professor of Chemistry. Previously, Prof. Cava worked as a staff scientist at Bell labs from 1979–1996. His research covers Superconductors, investigates topological insulators, semimetals, frustrated magnets and thermoelectrics.
Prof. Cava earned his B.Sc, M.Sc, Engineer and PhD degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He has published over 500 peer-reviewed papers, 36 of them in Nature and 8 of them in Science. These papers have been cited over 30,000 times, including his seminal work on YBCO, which has been cited almost 1500 times.
Roald Hoffmann received his Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1981 for his work on the course of chemical reactions. Recently he desinged, together with others, a room temperature superconductor at high pressure. This material (LaH10) was subsequently synthesized and showed room temperature superconductivity at a pressure of 2M atmospheres. Their pioneering work shows that such materials ("The holy grail of solid state physics") are practically attainable.He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and Foreign Fellow of the Royal Society. Hoffmann is best known for introducing quantum mechanical ideas to organic, inorganic, and solid state chemistry. Hoffmann's research and interests have been in the electronic structure of stable and unstable molecules, and in the study of transition states in reactions. He has investigated the structure and reactivity of both organic and inorganic molecules, and examined problems in organo-metallic and solid-state chemistry. Hoffman has developed semiempirical and nonempirical computional tools such as the extended Huckel method for determining molecular orbitals.
Bernard Raveau has Founded CRISMAT, the CNRS-ENSICAEN Laboratory for Crystallography and Materials in 1986 and CNRT Matériaux (National Research Centre of Technology for Materials) in 2000. He is a specialist of crystal chemistry of transition metal oxides. He is a Member of the Institut Universitaire de France, Member of Académie des Sciences, Member of the Indian Academy, Member of the Academia Europea and Fellow of the Royal Society.
He has authored 1,400 journal publications mainly devoted to high Tc superconducting cuprates, CMR manganites, magnetic and thermoelectric cobaltates and transition metal phosphates.
