Richard E. Smalley, the Gene and Norman Hackerman Professor of Chemistry
since 1982 and Professor of Physics at Rice University since 1990, has been
affiliated with Rice since 1976. A co-founder of the Rice Quantum Institute in
1979, he has served as its chairman since 1986, and is the director of the
Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology. He is a member of the National
Academy of Sciences (elected 1990), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
(elected 1991), and is the recipient of the 1991 Irving Langmuir Prize in
chemical physics, the 1992 International Prize for New Materials (shared with
R.F. Curl and H.W. Kroto), the 1992 E.O. Lawrence Award of the U.S. Department
of Energy, the 1992 Robert A. Welch Award in Chemistry, the 1993 William H.
Nichols Medal, and the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared with R.F. Curl and
H.W. Kroto).
Smalley has pioneered advances in the development of supersonic beam
laser spectroscopy, super-cold pulsed beams, and laser-driven sources of free
radicals, triplets, and metal and semiconductor cluster beams. He discovered
and characterized fullerenes, the third elemental form of carbon after graphite
and diamond, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize.
Born June 6, 1943, in Akron, Ohio, Smalley received his bachelor's
degree in chemistry in 1965 from the University of Michigan, and master's and
doctorate degrees from Princeton University in 1971 and 1973.
The Richard E. Smalley Papers, composed of four document boxes (.75
cubic feet each), comprise the lectures, presentations and supporting materials
leading to Smalley's discovery of fullerenes, which eventually lead to his
Nobel Prize. Included are lectures and presentations, conferences attended,
awards received, and articles written. The actual laboratory research notes and
materials are not included.
