Bertram Brockhouse was a Canadian physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1994 for his pioneering research and development of the neutron-scattering technique. Brockhouse's interest in physics began in high school and was further developed through his studies at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto. His most significant contribution was the development of inelastic neutron scattering, which allowed for the measurement of the relative energies of scattered neutrons to yield additional data. He also developed the neutron spectrometer and was one of the first to measure the phonon dispersion curve of a solid.

Biography/Timeline

1947

Brockhouse was born in Lethbridge, Alberta, and was a graduate of the University of British Columbia (BA, 1947) and the University of Toronto (MA, 1948; Ph.D, 1950).

1950

From 1950 to 1962, Brockhouse carried out research at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory. Here he was joined by P. K. Iyengar, who is treated as the father of India's nuclear program.

1962

In 1962, he became professor at McMaster University in Canada, where he remained until his retirement in 1984.

1965

Brockhouse was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1965. In 1982, Brockhouse was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and was promoted to Companion in 1995.

1994

The Nobel Prize that Bertram Brockhouse won (shared with Clifford Shull) in 1994 was awarded after the longest ever waiting time (counting from the time when the award-winning research had been carried out).

1999

In 1999 the Division of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (DCMMP) and the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) created a medal in honour of Brockhouse. The medal is called the Brockhouse Medal and is awarded to recognize and encourage outstanding experimental or theoretical contributions to condensed matter and materials physics. This medal is awarded annually on the basis of outstanding experimental or theoretical contributions to condensed matter physics. An eligible candidate must have performed their research primarily with a Canadian Institution.

2005

In October 2005, as part of the 75th anniversary of McMaster University's establishment in Hamilton, Ontario, a street on the University campus (University Avenue) was renamed to Brockhouse Way in honour of Brockhouse. The town of Deep River, Ontario has also named a street in his honour.
