Ulrike Diebold Receives Adamson-Award
Metal oxides have highly diverse properties - they can be used as catalysts or protective layers, as insulators or superconductors. For her research in this promising field, Prof. Diebold was awarded the 2013 Arthur W. Adamson Award for Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Surface Chemistry.
