Edmund Clifton Stoner

Edmund Clifton Stoner ( born October 2, 1899 in Surrey, England; † December 27, 1968 in Leeds, England ) was an English theoretical physicist. He is primarily known for his work on the origin of magnetism. These include the theory of collective electron and the Stoner criterion.

Life

Stoner began in 1918 his studies at Cambridge, where he attained his bachelor's degree in 1921. After his graduation he worked at the Cavendish Laboratory of X-ray absorption in matter. In a work in 1924, he took over the Pauli principle anticipated. He was in 1924 a lecturer at the University of Leeds, where he was appointed in 1939 as professor of theoretical physics. At the beginning, he worked on astrophysics, where he in 1930 calculated the mass limit for white dwarfs. However, he dedicated his main work magnetism, starting with the developed from 1938 collective -electron theory of ferromagnetism.

With his student Erich Peter Wohlfarth 1948, he developed the Stoner - Wohlfarth model of ferromagnetic single domain nanoparticles and ensembles from these crystals.
