Outstanding achievement in the field of Physical Chemistry. Author of twenty-one papers in the fields of ionic solutions and surface chemistry. Best known for his quantum mechanical treatments of the lithium fluoride molecule and of the surface energy of crystalline lithium fluoride. Important contributions to the evaluation of lattice sums and to the experimental determination of the surface energy of crystalline sodium chloride. In the latter work performed unexcelled determinations of heats of solution of finely divided sodium chloride. Techniques now being applied in the direct measurement of the heats of micelle formation.
