The Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ) presents a number of awards annually, including six CSJ Awards for significant contributions to chemistry in terms of both applications and basic research. In the following we present the recipients for 2003 and their award-winning research.
Yasuhiro Iwasawa is a recipient of a CSJ Award for his studies on active structures and dynamic catalysis on surfaces. His recent research includes kinetic studies on the elementary steps in the COinduced disintegration of rhodium clusters on surfaces. [1] For the characterization of these clusters he employs a wide range of modern methods for surface analysis: EXAFS, XPEEM, ESDIAD, STM, AFM, IR, XRD, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Iwasawa completed his chemistry studies at Tokyo University in 1973 with a PhD. He then taught and carried out research at Yokohama University until he was appointed professor at Tokyo University in 1984. He has authored books on catalysis and surfaces and is Executive Editor of the journal The Chemical Record.
