| Title: |
Dale E. Sayers Papers, 1959-2004
|
| Creator: |
Sayers, Dale E. (Dale Edward), 1943-2004 |
| Call Number: |
MC 00360 |
| Abstract: |
The Dale E. Sayers papers document Sayers' career as a researcher and educator, from his work as an undergraduate at the University
of California at Berkeley to his teaching and research career as a professor of physics at North Carolina State University.
Sayers was a co-developer of the modern extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique, which, according to Sayers,
"allows atomic structural information to be determined in complex systems." In addition to EXAFS, his research interests included
x-ray absorption spectroscopy, amorphous materials, mammography technology, synchrotron radiation, and environmental science.
Sayers' extensive planning work on the NC STAR Storage Ring Project (North Carolina Storage Rings for Advanced Research) is
one of the main subjects documented here. Other research project files included in these papers are Joint Economic Development
Initiative - Advanced Light Technologies (JEDI-ALT) and the Department of Defense's Technology Reinvestment Project (TRP).
These research files also include information on Sayers involvement in projects with the National Synchrotron Light Source
(NSLS), the Advanced Light Source (ALS), the Canadian Light Source (CLS), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), and MEMS (Microelectromechanical
Systems). Sayers was active professionally in and beyond N.C. State. He published more than 200 articles in journals such
as
Environmental Science and Technology,
Journal of Applied Physics,
Journal of Materials Research,
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, and
Thin Solid Films. He was active in organizations such as International XAFS Society and the American Physical Society, was
awarded a patent on his "Stable Silicide Electrical Contacts on Si" invention, presented invited talks and seminars at more
than sixty national and international conferences, and served as a consultant for groups such as Mobil Research and Development.
During his tenure at N.C. State, Sayers was involved in grant projects with institutions such as Exxon, the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, Procter & Gamble, the United States
Department of Agriculture, the United States Department of Energy, and the University of Connecticut. Included in this collection
are papers from Sayers' colleague Rodney McCormick, also of the NC State Physics Department.
