Michael F. Crommie (born December 1961) is an American physicist, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. World-renowned for his research on condensed-matter physics, he is a recipient of both the Newcomb-Cleveland Prize and the Davisson–Germer Prize in Atomic Physics. Crommie currently directs the Crommie Research Group.[1]
Crommie's research group currently uses scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Crommie is known for demonstrating the quantum corral in 1993 with Lutz and Eigler by using an elliptical ring of cobalt atoms on a copper surface. The ferromagnetic cobalt atoms reflected the surface electrons of the copper inside the ring into a wave pattern, as predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics.
