Gibbs Triangle Award

In celebration of the 150th birthday of Josiah Willard Gibbs, who was born in 1839, the Gibbs Triangle Award was established in 1989. It will be awarded once every third to fifth year for outstanding contributions to studies of ternary and higher-order phase diagrams, their thermodynamic background and principles of construction as well as methods of calculation and assessment work. The name of the award has been taken from Gibbs composition triangle, commonly used in representing ternary phase diagrams. The recipient will be chosen by the associate editors of the CALPHAD journal together with prior recipients. The award is in the form of a musical triangle and its ByLaw.
