Pomme et l’Atome (La) (Sciences) (French Edition)
Spiral Lift
He wrote two popular books "La pomme et l'atome" Odile Jacob ed. After moving to Erlangen he turned to surface physics concentrating largely on surface crystallography Habilitation , Professor The main research issues he addressed include structure determination by low-energy electron diffraction, surface reconstruction, structural phase transitions, ordered and disordered adsorption systems, alloy surfaces, metallic epitaxy and, since , epitaxial oxide films.
In he moved to the University of Sheffield.

In he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in he won the Tabor Medal of the Institute of Physics for contributions to nanoscience. He is an experimental polymer physicist who specialises in elucidating the nano-scale structure and properties of polymers and biological macromolecules at interfaces.

In addition to his work as an experimental physicist, he has written extensively on the wider societal and ethical issues surrounding nanotechnology. He is recognized for his research on low-dimensional structures and the physics and applications thus made possible. In recent years his research has been focused on the formation of ideal one-dimensional nanowires through self-assembly, studies of their physical properties, as well as applications of semiconductor nanowires in electronics, photonics and the life-sciences.
He spent three years as a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California at Berkeley before joining the faculty of the Physics Department at Harvard University in , first as an Assistant and then as an Associate Professor.
Vanderbilt is an expert in the development of methods for electronic structure calculations and the application of such methods for computational materials theory. His current research interests include the development of methods for treating insulators in finite electric fields, advancing the theory and applicability of Wannier functions, and applying Berry-phase methods to study magnetic systems. One class of applications focuses on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of novel oxide materials, especially structural phase transitions, lattice contributions to dielectric and piezoelectric activity, and properties of interfaces and superlattices.
