Néel, Louis Eugène Félix (1904–2000)


Louis Neel
French physicist awarded (with Alfvén) the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the magnetic properties of solids. His research not only permitted the manufacture of products used in, for example, computers, but also explained phenomena such as the recording by certain of the Earth's rocks of geomagnetic fields.
