FROM: University of California Santa Barbara's Student Newspaper Daily Nexus Holocaust Survivor, Nobel Prize Winner: UCSB's Walter Kohn Laureate Brings Talent, Prestige to School By Sarah Healy - Staff Writer Wednesday, January 17, 2001 Editor's Note - In 1998, physics Professor Walter Kohn won the first Nobel Prize for a professor at UCSB. This article, the second in a four-part series, looks at Kohn's life and his contributions, both to the field of chemistry and to the school where he has been a professor for the last 22 years. From his escape of Nazi-controlled Austria, to the transformation of two university physics departments, to a Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1998, UCSB physics Professor Walter Kohn has made his mark on the world. His impact rubbed off on his colleagues as well - when physics Professor Alan Heeger announced his own Nobel Prize last October, he wore a bolero tie like the one Kohn always wears. Kohn's Nobel Prize, which was the first won by a professor at UCSB, reflected his skill as a researcher, but also on the school and the institutions whose reputations he helped build. "It was in some sense an affirmation of something which we knew, that he was an outstanding scientist, that the department was a first-class department," Heeger said. "It was a great place to be."

Kohn shared the 1998 Nobel Prize in chemistry with British chemist John Pople for their development of methods that allow chemists and physicists to calculate the properties of atoms ( see Atom ) and molecules . Atoms and molecules are the basic units of matter. Atoms contain a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a cloud of tiny, negatively charged particles called electrons. Molecules are groups of atoms that have bonded together by merging their electron clouds. Kohn developed a simplified way of understanding the location of electrons in large molecules. His technique, called the density functional theory, is considered revolutionary because it allows scientists to make calculations for molecules with up to 1,000 atoms, while the limit before Kohn’s theory was about 10 atoms. The work for which Kohn won the Nobel Prize was based on one of the basic ideas of quantum mechanics (

N©   Vienne en Autriche, Walter Kohn m¨ne des ©tudes dans les universit©s de Toronto, puis de Cambridge. Il devient rapidement assistant, puis professeur des d©partements de physique de Pittsburgh (1950), de San Diego, puis de Santa Barbara en 1984, poste qu'il occupe jusqu'  ce jour. Il cr©e l'Institut de physique th©orique de Santa Barbara dont il est le directeur de 1979   1984. Il est ©galement membre de l'Acad©mie des sciences am©ricaine depuis 1969. L'©quation de Schr¶dinger permet de calculer le comportement de l'ensemble de la mati¨re, atomes et mol©cules. Cependant, pour ªtre utilis©e, elle n©cessite des simplifications math©matiques ; pour de petits atomes, ces approximations sont g©n©ralement simples, mais, pour des mol©cules constitu©es par essence de plusieurs atomes, ces approximations se r©v¨lent inefficaces. Jusqu’aux travaux de Walter Kohn, cette limitation math©matique rendait le monde de la physique quantique relativement ferm© aux chimistes, int©ress©s par le comportement et par les r©actions des mol©cules.
