Jeremy Busby

Jeremy Busby, director of the Reactor and Nuclear Systems Division at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected fellow of the American Nuclear Society for his contributions to developing materials for nuclear energy

Van-der-Waals layered CuInP2S6 has different properties depending on the locations of copper atoms (orange spheres). Unified theory and experiment led to the discovery of two co-existing phases which are connected through a quadruple energy well whose properties can be harnessed to provide materials with new functions.
