    Raimond Castaing

    Raimond Bernard René Castaing (December 28,


    1921 – April 10, 1998), also spelt as Raymond Raimond Bernard René Castaing
    Castaing, was a French solid state physicist and
    inventor of various materials characterization
    methods.[1] He was the founder of the French school of
    microanalysis and is referred to as the father of
    microanalysis.[2][3]

    Education and career


    Castaing went to school in Monaco, Condom, and
    Toulouse. From 1940 he studied physics at the École
    Normale Supérieure in Paris (ENS) and at the
    University of Paris, interrupted by work service in
    1943/44. He also attended lectures by Frédéric Joliot- Born December 28, 1921
    Monaco
    Curie, who taught at the Collège de France, and
    courses by Alfred Kastler and others at the ENS. In Died April 10, 1998 (aged 76)
    1946 he graduated from the ENS and from 1947 he Education École normale supérieure
    was an engineer with the national space research University of Paris
    organization ONERA. In 1951 he received his Scientific career
    doctorate under the supervision of André Guinier, with
    Institutions University of Toulouse
    the thesis titled Application des sondes électroniques à
    University of Paris
    une méthode d'analyse ponctuelle chimique et

    local chemical and crystallographic analysis).[2] He Thesis Application of electron probes to

    1950s he was also involved in the development of Doctoral André Guinier
    secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) (with his advisor
    student Georges Slodzian).[4][5] The first
    demonstration took place in 1960 and further development took place at the Cameca company and there
    was competition with the SIMS developed in the US by Richard Herzog and Helmut Liebl.[6] In 1952, he
    became a lecturer (maître de conferences) at the University of Toulouse and from 1956 at the University
    of Paris. From 1959 he was a professor at the University of Paris-Sud in Orsay, where he founded the
    Laboratory for Solid State Physics with Jacques Friedel and others.[7][1]
    From 1968 to 1973 he was scientific director and later general director of ONERA. From 1982 he was on
    the French National Council for Reactor Safety Issues and from 1987 on the French National Committee
    for Nuclear Energy. In this capacity, he headed a state commission in 1996 that was to assess the
    Superphénix reactor. From 1984 to 1987 he was on the supervisory board of the French steel group
    Usinor.

    Honors and awards


    In 1966 he received the Holweck Prize, in 1975 the CNRS Gold Medal and in 1977 the Roebling Medal
    of the Mineralogical Society of America. In 1968 he became a member of the German Academy of
    Natural Scientists Leopoldina. In 1977 he also became a member of the French Academy of
    Sciences.[8][7]
