Emeritus Professor Wolf-Dieter Schneider got the Award of the 141st Committee of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences “for pioneering research work in nano-scale surface physics achieved by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy”.
Professor Schneider has had a long and highly successful research career in surface physics and surface chemistry at the nanoscale, employing photoemission techniques and predominantly local scanning probe methods. Since his retirement in 2009, he is a scientific consultant at the Fritz-Haber-Institute of the Max-Plack-Society in Berlin.
