Chiarotti
Gianfranco CHIAROTTI
Physicist, (1928-2017).
Assistant Professor (1955-57) at the University of Illinois (USA), which hosts some of the leading scientists who founded the physics of solids: Bardeen, Schrieffer, Cooper, Maurer, Frederick Seitz.
Professor of Higher Physics first at the University of Messina from 1962 to 1965, then of Physics of Solids and General Physics at the University of Rome "La Sapienza".
At the beginning of the 1960's, under the aegis of INFN and CNR, was created the round table of the Italian Matter Structure Groups (GISM) of which Chiarotti will shortly assume the presidency.
In 1965 CNR admits GISM and establishes the National Group of Structure of Matter (GNSM), which becomes a research entity in 1969.
Towards the end of the 1960s the launch of a new project which involves the use of synchrotron light for the analysis and characterization of solids.
Since 1981 he has been Professor of General Physics at the "Tor Vergata" University of Rome.
In the meanwhile his relations with CNR get stronger, until the foundation of the Istituto di Struttura della Materia (ISM) based in Frascati, of which he was director from 1982 to 1988. Under his impulse at ISM, one of the leading projects is realized: the construction of one of the first scanning tunneling microscopes (STM); furtherore he promotes the use of synchrotron light, through the design and implementation of beam lines at ELETTRA realized by the Institute for the study of the electronic properties of solids and the development of other advanced diagnostic techniques.
NIn 1977 he was awarded the National Prize for Physics from the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, of which he became member thanks to his works in the promotion and strengthening of Physics with the aim of integrating it with all the other components of culture, even the most distant ones.
