Diamond Distinguished Chair in Engineering and Applied Science and professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University, has been named as the recipient of the 2020 N.F. Mott Award. The award, granted every two years to a senior scientist for contributions to glass science (or the science of noncrystalline solids) recognizes Jain’s contributions to the understanding of the electrical properties of glasses, chalcogenide glass, bioactive glass, and laser-induced crystallization.

Glossary
glass
A noncrystalline, inorganic mixture of various metallic oxides fused by heating with glassifiers such as silica, or boric or phosphoric oxides. Common window or bottle glass is a mixture of soda, lime and sand, melted and cast, rolled or blown to shape. Most glasses are transparent in the visible spectrum and up to about 2.5 µm in the infrared, but some are opaque such as natural obsidian; these are, nevertheless, useful as mirror blanks. Traces of some elements such as cobalt, copper and...
chalcogenide
Chalcogenide refers to a class of compounds containing elements from group 16 of the periodic table, which includes sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and tellurium (Te). These elements are known as chalcogens. Chalcogenides are typically formed by combining one or more chalcogens with other elements, such as metals or metalloids. Chalcogenides are of particular interest in materials science and technology due to their unique properties, which include: Semiconductor behavior: Many chalcogenides...
