This page is a work area in which information about every person in the MSU Chemical Genealogy charts is gathered and evaluated. The references to several chemical genealogy sources, including those available on the WWW in addition to reference books, are listed on the previous page.
The last line for each individual, in bold font and labeled "display:", shows the text to be displayed on the MSU Chemistry genealogy web pages for the individual.

Ibers, James Arthur
[Smith]
- We (after McCarty) show: J. A. Ibers (1930-____) ( ) Schomaker
- Mainz shows: Ibers, James Arthur|1930|PhD|1954|CalTech|Schomaker and
Sturdivant
- DisAbs shows: Ibers, James A.|PhD|1954|California Institute of Technology|
Chemistry, General|(title)|
- Mathematics does not include: Ibers
- NDSU does not include Ibers
- SciFinder shows Ibers' first two papers (1950, 1951) co-authored by Norman
Davidson, 3rd paper sole authored (1953), papers 4,6,7 (1953-1954)
co-authored by Jean A. Hoerni and dealing with scattering factors, paper 5
(1953) "The structure of oxygen fluoride" co-authored by Verner Schomaker,
papers 8,10,11,12 (1956-1957) sole authored, paper 9 (19) co-authored by
J M Cowley, papers 13,14 (1957) co-authored by C H Holm, ... [Sturdivant
was not a co-author of any paper.] [Can not find Hoerni in DisAbs, even
with wide variations on spelling, but she did publish 17 papers 1948-1965.]
- UConn does not include Ibers
- YorkU does not include Ibers
question: preceptor? Schomaker or Sturdivant?
discussion: Schomaker was known as a professor at CalTech. Sturdivant
earned a PhD under Pauling (1930) and published 13 papers (1928-1952 and
1968) (6 with Pauling, 3 sole authored) but the only paper published after
1952 (2 years before Ibers' PhD) was a tribute to Pauling. I am guessing
that Sturdivant had a 'research scientist' position (not professor) at
CalTech and that he did work with several students, including Ibers.
choice: Schomaker as Iber's preceptor.
Display: James Arthur Ibers (1930-____) (PhD 1954, CalTech)
