Brent Fultz is the Barbara and Stanley Rawn, Jr. Professor of Materials Science and Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology.[1] He is known for his research in materials physics and materials chemistry, and for establishing the importance of phonon entropy to the phase stability of materials.[2] He oversaw the construction of the wide angular-range chopper spectrometer (ARCS) instrument at the Spallation Neutron Source[3] and has made advances in phonon measuring techniques.[2]
He is the author of two graduate level textbooks, Transmission Electron Microscopy and Diffractometry of Materials (with James M. Howe, Springer, 2001; 4th ed., 2013) on diffractometry of materials,[4][5] and Phase Transitions in Materials (Cambridge University Press, 2014) on phase transitions in materials.[6]
