Age, Biography and Wiki

Alan Lindsay Mackay was a British physicist and crystallographer who made significant contributions to the understanding of the structure of crystals. He was born on 6 September 1926 in Wolverhampton, England. He attended the University of Cambridge, where he earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1948 and a PhD in physics in 1951. Mackay's research focused on the structure of crystals, and he developed a mathematical model for the arrangement of atoms in crystals. He was awarded the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society in 1972 for his work on the structure of crystals. He was also awarded the Royal Medal of the Royal Society in 1983 for his contributions to the field of crystallography. Mackay was a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He was also a member of the International Union of Crystallography and the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. Mackay died on 11 April 2021 at the age of 97.

Timeline

2010

For his contributions to quasicrystals in 2010 Mackay was awarded the Buckley Prize, of the American Physical Society, with Dov Levine and Paul Steinhardt. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2011 to Dan Shechtman for the discovery of quasicrystals.

1988

He became a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) on 17 March 1988 and a Fellow of Birkbeck College on 2 March 2002. He is also a Fellow of the Mexican Academy of Sciences.

1962

Mackay has made important scientific contributions related to the structure of materials: In 1962 he published a manuscript that showed how to pack atoms in an icosahedral fashion; a first step towards five-fold symmetry in materials science. These arrangements are now called Mackay icosahedra. He is a pioneer in the introduction of five-fold symmetry in materials and in 1981 predicted quasicrystals in a paper (in Russian) entitled "De Nive Quinquangula" in which he used a Penrose tiling in two and three dimensions to predict a new kind of ordered structures not allowed by traditional crystallography. In a later manuscript, in 1982, he took the optical Fourier transform of a 2-D Penrose tiling decorated with atoms, obtaining a pattern with sharp spots and five-fold symmetry. This brought the possibility of identifying quasiperiodic order in a material through diffraction. Quasicrystals with icosahedral symmetry were found by Dan Shechtman and co-workers in 1984.

1926

Alan Lindsay Mackay FRS (born 6 September 1926) is a British crystallographer, born in Wolverhampton.

1917

Mackay has compiled a book of scientific quotations and has co-authored a book on geometry with Eric Lord and S. Ranganathan. He has also written a book of poetry and has translated from the German, with commentaries, Ernst Haeckel's last book "Kristallseelen", (1917). He produces scientifically inspired visual art under his artistic pseudonym Sho Takahashi. Some of his 3D printed minimal surface designs can be found at his shapeways store.
