Martha R. McCartney

Martha Rogers "Molly" McCartney is an American physicist known for her work developing electron holography and using it to measure electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. She is a professor emerita at Arizona State University.[1]

Education

McCartney has a 1982 bachelor's degree from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. She went to Arizona State University for doctoral study, completing her Ph.D. in 1989.[1] Her dissertation, Observations of electron irradiation effects at transition metal oxide surfaces, was supervised by David J. Smith.[2]

Recognition

In 2009, McCartney and her coauthors Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski and Takeshi Kasama were the recipients of the Ernst Ruska Prize of the German Society for Electron Microscopy.[3]

McCartney was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2012, after a nomination from the APS Division of Materials Physics, "for outstanding contributions to the development of off-axis electron holography and applications to the quantification of nanoscale electrostatic and magnetic fields".[4]
