Report of the Jury (April 13, 1985)
Considering
the originality and the creativity of his work;
considering
his discovery of vibrationnels novel modes of surface in the ionic
crystals, generally indicated by “Lucas modes”;
considering
his work of pioneer on the interactions between electrons and modes of
surface which contributed a determining share for the comprehension of
the surface dynamic processes;
considering
the clarification of the importance of the role of the plasmons of
surface in the surface energy of metals;
considering
his theory of the internal forces in irradiated materials and in
particular the formation of rare gas bubbles in materials of the nuclear
reactors and the way in which they cause the partial destruction (blistering)
on the surface;
decide to
award the Francqui Prize 1985 to Mr Amand LUCAS, Professor at the
Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix à Namur.
