Thomas A. Carlson, 76, of 389 East Drive, Oak Ridge, died Wednesday, Dec. 15,
2004, at his home of complications due to cancer. Dr. Carlson was born in
Waterbury, Conn., on April 1, 1928, the son of Arthur and Jennie Carlson. He did
his undergraduate work at Trinity College in Hartford. He received his Ph.D.
from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 1954. In 1950 he married
Effie Elizabeth Bradley, who survives him. He and his wife traveled to Oak Ridge
in 1954, where Tom took a research position at the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory. Most of his career was devoted to the study of primary processes of
ionization in atoms and molecules. In the 1960s Dr. Carlson was attracted to
photoelectron spectroscopy. Previously, he studied ionization by charge spectroscopy,
a program he inherited from Art Snell and Frances Pleasonton. This work
culminated in the characterization of electron shakeoff, vacancy cascades, and
Coulombic explosion of molecular ions. In 1966-67 he was awarded a Guggenheim
fellowship in Sweden. During that time he was able to expand his ideas on high
resolution electron spectroscopy, becoming one of the first to bring this new
field to the United States. He was a pioneer in many aspects of the field,
developing angle-resolved PES of gaseous molecules and high resolution Auger
Spectroscopy, as well as expanding avenues into the practical applications of ESCA
(Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis). Dr. Carlson published 190
scientific articles, including his classic book on "Photoelectron and Auger
Spectroscopy" in 1974. In 1973 he was elected Fellow in the American Physical Society.
He was chosen chairman of the second Gordon Conference on Electron Spectroscopy
in 1976, and he was joint editor of the Journal of Electron Spectroscopy from
its inception in 1972 to 1977. In 1980 he and his old colleague Manfred
Krause began a series of studies utilizing Synchrotron Radiation to expand the
capabilities of Electron Spectroscopy. In 1985 Dr. Carlson was made Corporate
Fellow at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Tom retired in 1988, in part to
pursue his interests outside of science: music and art. He developed a type of
painting he called "Chaotic." He had a dozen one-man shows of his work in Oak
Ridge and surrounding areas. He has been a member of the Upstairs Gallery since
1998. Tom loved classical music since he was a boy, and was an avid collector of
recordings. His collection spanned the gamut from Medieval to the Post
Modern. He was a frequent lecturer on music at ORICL. He was closely involved with
ORCMA, and he contributed program notes to over 75 ORCMA concerts. He gathered
these notes together in a book he completed just before he died. Memorial
contributions may be made to the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association, PO Box 4271,
Oak Ridge, TN 37830. In keeping with his wishes, Mr. Carlson was cremated and
no services will be held. Weatherford Mortuary is handling the arrangements and
an on-line guest book can be signed at www.weatherfordmortuary.com.
