Suresh Chand Jain (5 December 1926 – 10 December 2009) was an Indian physicist and director of the
Defence Research and Development Organization. Known for his research in solid state physics, Jain was an elected fellow of the Indian National Science Academy and National Academy of Sciences, India. In 1966, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to physical sciences.[1][note 1]
Biography
S. C. Jain, born on 5 December 1926 in
Imperial College of London (1975–77).[3]
Jain died on 10 December 2009, at the age of 83.[3]
Legacy
During his doctoral studies, Jain assisted his mentor, K. S. Krishnan, the co-discoverer of the
semiconductor devices are some of the other areas he worked on and he was credited with developing experimental techniques in these disciplines which are in use around the world.[8] He also contributed to the development of electronic equipment for the military.[9] His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles[note 3] and he published four books viz. Recent advances in semiconductors: theory and technology,[10] Nonmetallic crystals,[11] Germanium-silicon strained layers and heterostructures,[12] and Electronic absorption and internal and external vibrational data of atomic and molecular ions doped in alkali halide crystals.[13]
Jain was the director of the International Advanced School on Theory and Technology of Semiconductors, an
non-metallic crystals held at IIT Delhi in January 1969 and was associated with International Union of Pure and Applied Physics as a member of its solid state commission.[2] He was also a member of the editorial boards of journals such as Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, Crystal Lattice Defects and Amorphous Materials and Journal of Nonmetals and was a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.[3]
Awards and honors
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded Jain the
Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 1966[14] and the Indian National Science Academy elected him as a fellow in 1979.[15] He was also a fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India,[16] Physical Society of London, American Physical Society, Faraday Society[2] and Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers.[3]
