Guest Editor for this issue of MRS Bulletin

Purdue University, Department of Chemistry, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA; tel. 765-4940049; and e-mail [email protected].

Missouri University of Science and Technology, 103 Materials Research Center, Rolla, MO 65409-1170, USA; tel. 573-341-4383; and e-mail [email protected].

Switzer is the Donald L. Castleman Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly, University of Missouri, Rolla). He also is a senior investigator at the Materials Research Center. Switzer received his BS degree in chemistry from the University of Cincinnati, and his PhD degree in inorganic chemistry from Wayne State University. After receiving his PhD degree, he joined Union Oil Company of California (UNOCAL) as a senior research chemist. His research at UNOCAL was on photoelectrochemistry and the electrochemical processing of photovoltaic cells. In 1986, Switzer joined the Materials Science and Engineering Department of the University of Pittsburgh as an associate professor. In 1990, he moved to the University of Missouri, Rolla, as a professor of chemistry. Switzer has spent most of his career working on the electrodeposition of nanostructured metal oxide semiconductors, magnetic materials, and catalysts. He is best known for his work on the electrodeposition of epitaxial metal oxides, oxide superlattices, and chiral surfaces. Switzer is a principal editor for the Journal of Materials Research.

Gary Hodes Guest Editor for this issue of MRS Bulletin Department of Materials and Interfaces, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, Israel; tel. 972-8-9342076; and e-mail [email protected].

Hodes has been with the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, since 1972. He obtained both his BSc degree in chemistry and PhD degree in electrochemical H/D separation on Pd from the Queen's University of Belfast in 1968 and 1971, respectively. His research has covered liquid junction and thin-film solar cells, chemical and electrochemical deposition of semiconductors, and quantum dot films. More recently, Hodes has concentrated on chemical bath deposition of semiconductors, in particular ZnO, and uses this deposition method to make semiconductorsensitized nanoporous solar cells, which is another of his research interests.

Philippe Allongue Ecole Polytechnique, PMC, F-91128 Palaiseau, France; tel. 33-1-6933-4673; and e-mail [email protected].

Allongue is a research director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique at Ecole Polytechnique, Physique de la Matiere Condensee in France. He received his electrical engineering degree and master's degree in materials science in 1980 and obtained his PhD degree in 1988 from the University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. Allongue was a postdoctoral fellow with Heinz Gerischer at the Fritz-Haber Institute, Berlin, from 1990 to 1992. His current research interests include fundamental aspects of electrodeposition, magnetic materials, electrochemical nanostructuring, a
