Clifford G. Shull was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the development of the neutron diffraction technique".
Professor Shull came to MIT as a full professor in 1955 and retired in 1986, though he continued to visit and to "look over the shoulders" of students doing experiments in the "remnants of my old research laboratory."...

 NYU Today News: Nobel laureate, alumnus Shull, dies at 85
Clifford G. Shull, the NYU alumnus who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1994 for his work with neutrons, died on Saturday, March 31 in Medford, Mass.
Shull was honored with the Nobel Prize for developing a technique to probe the molecular structure of materials by bouncing neutrons off them.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1915, Shull was educated at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and New York University, from which he received his doctorate in physics in 1941.

 Oak Ridge Pays Tribute to its Nobel Prize Winner
Sharing the stage was the original neutron diffractometer that Shull had used for his prize-winning research and that was brought to Oak Ridge from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., as a new exhibit for the museum's future ORNL room.
Shull's Nobel Prize also raised the hope that the Advanced Neutron Source research reactor to be built at ORNL would stay in the president's budget as a construction item and receive congressional funding.
Shull said he spent the rest of his career at ORNL using neutron scattering to probe the structure of alloys and magnetic materials.

Shull, who will share the $930,000 prize with Bertram N. Brockhouse of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, is a familiar name to physics students, cited frequently in their textbooks for contributions to the understanding of the structure of organic materials as well as the magnetic behavior of metals.
Shull's 40-year wait for his Nobel Prize may have been extreme, but the academy typically takes years to recognize scientists' discoveries -- even the discoverers of the structure of DNA waited nine years for a Nobel.
Shull and Wollan found that by bombarding materials with the neutrons produced in the reactor, they could determine where the atoms in the tested material were located.

While at Oak Ridge he showed that a beam of neutrons directed at a sample of a given material is scattered by the atoms in the material, and that a diffraction pattern can be obtained that indicates the positions of the atoms.
Determining the locations of the atoms in a material and their interactions with one another is vital to an understanding of the properties of that material.

Partly this is because the equivalent wavelength of the neutrons can be adjusted to match the spacing between the atoms in the crystal, or because the energies of the neutrons can be selected to match those of the characteristic vibrations of the crystal.
Shull is being recognized for his work on experiments in which neutron waves fall on the crystal and scatter elastically (they lose no energy) in a process called diffraction.

 Shull joins ranks of MIT's Nobelists - MIT News Office
Professor Emeritus Clifford G. Shull has won the 1994 Nobel Prize in physics for pioneering work he did almost 50 years ago on neutron diffraction, a technique that probes how atoms in a material are arranged.
When a beam of neutrons is directed at a given material, they "bounce against (are scattered by) atoms in the sample being investigated [and] their directions change, depending on the atoms' relative positions," the Nobel citation said.
Through these initial experiments "Shull opened what was to become a very large field for finding out how hydrogen is bound in, for example, ice, metallic hydrides and organic compounds," the Nobel citation said.

The reason for the delay in awarding the prize seems to have been that the work was done at a reactor and this gave it a politically incorrect association with nuclear power.

Charles G. Barkla (Physics Prize in 1917, awarded in 1918), which after the clarification of the wave nature of this radiation and its diffraction by Max von Laue (Physics Prize in 1914), also became an important source of information on the internal structure of atoms.
Clifford G. Shull contributed strongly to the development of the neutron diffraction technique for crystal structure determination, and showed also that the regular arrangement of magnetic moments on atoms in ordered magnetic materials can give rise to neutron diffraction patterns, providing a new powerful tool for magnetic structure determination.
Kenneth G. Wilson, who received the Physics Prize in 1982, developed the so-called renormalization theory for critical phenomena in connection with phase transitions, a theory which has also found application in certain field theories of particle physics.
