Daniel Mazzone awarded the Erwin Félix Lewy Bertaut Prize

Daniel Mazzone, PSI, (LNS laboratory, NUM) has been awarded the 13th Erwin Félix Lewy Bertaut Prize for “his outstanding contributions in the field of quantum effects in strongly correlated electron materials, employing cutting-edge X-ray and neutron scattering techniques”.
His pioneering research has led to extensive new scientific insights into heavy fermion materials and correlated transition-metal oxides. His research has faced major environmental challenges, including the precise measurement of small magnetic moments at extreme low temperatures and high magnetic fields, as well as the performance of neutron scattering experiments under uniaxial pressure with very low sample masses.
Daniel Mazzone has also played a key role in the commissioning of various large-scale neutron and X-ray spectrometers, using innovative technical approaches and sophisticated data reduction and analysis software.
The Bertaut Prize created by the European Crystallographic Association (ECA) and the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA) is awarded to a young scientist in recognition of notable experimental, methodological or theoretical contributions to the investigation of matter using crystallographic or neutron scattering methods.
