理查德·A.鄧?yán)眨琑ichard A Dunlap received a BS in Physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1974, an AM in Physics from Dartmoutt College in1976 and a PhD in Physics from Clark University in 1981. Since receiving his PhD he has been on the Faculty at Dalhousie University. He was appointed Faculty of Science Killa Research Professor in Physics from 2001 to 2006 and served as Director of the Dalhousie University Institute for Research in Materials from 2009 to 2015. He currently holds an appointment as Research Professor in the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science. Professor Dunlap has published more than 300 refereed research papers and his research interests have included, magnetic materials, amorphous alloys, critical phenomena, hydrogen storage, quasicrystals, superconductivity and materials for advanced batteries.Much of his work involves the application of nuclear spectroscopic techniques to the investigation of solid state properties. He is author of four previous books;Experimental Physics: Modern Methods (Oxford 1988), The Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Numbers (World Scientific 1997), An Introduction to the Physics of Nuclei and Particles (Brooks/Cole 2004), Sustainable Energy (Cengage, 1st edn 2015,2nd edn 2019).
