Cowley, John

We are pleased to acknowledge friends and colleagues for their involvement in the work described here. Many of these studies involved use of the facilities in the John M. Cowley Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy at Arizona State University.

Another important early development, which again showed both LeRoy s vision and his personal charm, was his recruitment in 1970 of John Cowley to set up what is now the John M. Cowley Center for Electron Microscopy. This was coupled with a successful Area Development Grant application to National Science Eoundation to establish what became the distinguished Center for Solid State Science at Arizona State University. Chemistry (i.e. Eyring ) hires at that time in connection with this development included Alex Navrotsky and Bob Von Dreele, names that may be familiar to many solid state chemists. 

In the meantime, a compromise solution of sorts had arisen in the committee searching for Ruska s successor. The proposal was to appoint a tripartite board of scientific directors to guide the IFE whose members would oversee groups directed respectively toward further technical innovation, in the manner of Ruska theoretical development, and experimental applications. A candidate to head the experimental group, John M. Cowley of Arizona State University, was approached and presented his ideas for the IFE, which were compatible with the future plans...
