LONG CITATION
Prof. Bonn has done pioneering work in unraveling the properties of the electronic states in high temperature superconductors. This work provides the experimental basis for our present understanding of the quasiparticle dynamics, which constitutes a key step in establishing the unusual nature of the superconductivity in these materials. Dr. Bonn has also made important contributions to the production of high quality copper oxide crystals at UBC, which have been central to a wide range of key experiments on high temperature superconductivity at laboratories in Canada and around the world.
