'''Conyers Herring''' ([[Scotia (Nova Iorque)|Scotia]], {{dtlink|lang=br|15|11|1914}} — [[Palo Alto]], {{dtlink|lang=br|23|7|2009}}) foi um [[Física|físico]] [[Estados Unidos|estadunidense]].
 
<!--
He was the [[Wolf Prize in Physics]] in 1984/5. He was a Professor of Applied Physics at [[Stanford University]].<ref>[http://www.stanford.edu/dept/app-physics/faculty.html Conyers Herring at Stanford University]</ref>
 
==Academic career==
Conyers Herring completed his Ph.D in [[Physics]] from [[Princeton University]] in 1937. In 1946, he joined the technical staff of [[Bell Laboratories]] in Murray Hill, New Jersey, where he remained until 1978. Then, he joined the faculty at [[Stanford University]].
 
==Contributions==
Conyers Herring played a major role in the development of solid state physics.
 
He laid the foundations of band structure calculations of [[metals]] and [[semiconductors]], culminating in the discovery of the Orthogonalized Plane Wave Method (O.P.W.). He was years ahead of his time in this contribution. A great deal of modern [[solid state physics]] as produced today stems from this original and early paper.
 
His influence on the development of solid state physics extends to a deep understanding of many facets such as surface physics, of thermionic emission, of transport phenomena in semiconductors and of collective excitations in solids such as spin waves.
 
He created the [[theoretical physics]] division at Bell Telephone Laboratory. Because of this, the total research effort at this institution and brought about much of the most original research in condensed matter physics during the last 30 years.
 
He has also been most influential in promoting international cooperation among scientists and through his character and his personal example, he has exemplified a somewhat unattainable ideal of how a research scholar in any field should operate.
 
He has contributed to [[religion and science]] discussions. He has stated about [[God]] that "Things such as truth, goodness, even happiness, are achievable by virtue of a force that is always present, in the here and now and available to me personally".<ref>pages 42-44 of {{cite book | author=[[Henry Margenau|Margenau, H.]] | year=1992 | title='''Cosmos, Bios, Theos:''' Scientists Reflect on Science, God, and the Origins of the Universe, Life, and Homo sapiens | publisher=[[Open Court Publishing Company]]}} co-edited with [[Roy Abraham Varghese]]. This book is mentioned in the [[Time magazine]] article: [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,977352-1,00.html Galileo And Other Faithful Scientists]</ref>
 
==Awards and honors==
In 1984/85 Conyers Herring was awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics along with [[Philippe Nozieres]] for "for their major contributions to the fundamental theory of solids, especially of the behaviour of electronsin metals".<ref>[http://www.wolffund.org.il/cat.asp?id=25&cat_title=PHYSICS The Wolf Prize in Physics in 1984/85]</ref> In 1980, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) presented
the James Murray Luck Award for Excellence in Scientific Reviewing to him. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
