Biographical Sketch:
B.S. 1951 Washington State University Ph.D. 1961 University of Washington
Interests:
Professor Schmidt studies static and dynamic phenomena in ferroelectrics and related "proton glasses" by means of dielectric, light scattering and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) measurements. Results are compared with model calculations and Monte Carlo computer simulations. He is also investigating applications of piezoelectric polymers to actuators and antivibration devices
