Additional information:
The E-MRS Professor Jan Czochralski Award is named after the famous Polish researcher Jan Czochralski. He is the discoverer and developer of the Czochralski process, named after him, for growing single crystals from germanium and silicon. This process is the basic prerequisite for a wide range of modern electronic devices and equipment. In research, it is not only used for these two elements, but also enables the production of a variety of metallic and semi-metallic compounds as single crystals.
