	Felix Bloch Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Felix Bloch (1905-1983) is best known for his development of nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, which allowed highly precise measurements of the magnetism of atomic nuclei and became a powerful tool in both physics and chemistry to analyze large molecules.
		Bloch was born in Zurich, Switzerland, on October 23, 1905, the son of Agnes Mayer Bloch and Gustav Bloch, a wholesale grain dealer.
		The Bloch T 3/2 law describes how magnetization in ferromagnetic material is dependent upon temperature, Bloch walls are the transition region between parts of a ferromagnetic crystal that are magnetized with different orientations, and the Bloch theorem eliminates some of the possible explanations for superconductivity.

	Felix Bloch, Neutron Induction, Bloch Equations, Bloch Theorem, Bloch States
		Stressing "the importance both of demonstrating the neutron's magnetic moment and of determining its magnitude", Felix Bloch began his research on neutron physics at Stanford [University] in early 1936.
		Bloch, collaborating with [Hans] Bethe, [Edward] Teller, and [Hans] Staub, used the homemade Stanford cyclotron for the first experimental determination of the energy distribution of neutrons from fission.
		Bloch was recognized for his achievements when he was awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physics for the ‘development of new methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements and discoveries in connection therewith'.

	The World’s Most Notorious Bus Driver? Felix Bloch
		Bloch was a healthy and aristocratic looking fellow who resembled what Hunter S. Thompson would have looked like if he had avoided his addictions to drugs and alcohol.
		Felix Bloch, after all, had served as a senior United States diplomat in Austria from 1980 to 1987; while, Reine Gikman was known to be one of the top KGB officers stationed in Vienna.
		Felix was wise to hold to his claims of innocence because the only evidence the FBI had at that time was a couple of innocuous phone calls and a meeting with a man whom Felix insisted was only a fellow stamp collector.

	Felix Bloch (alleged spy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Felix Bloch (born 1933) a former senior American diplomat living in Washington, D.C., and the second most important in the U.S. embassy in Vienna, has fallen under accusations of espionage activities to the Soviet Union, thus becoming the most important person to fall under such accusations since World War II.
		Accusations of espionage caused Bloch to lose his prestigious position that he held for 32 years, and he currently works as a bus driver in North Carolina, as he has been stripped of claim to any pension.
		Bloch and a man identified as "Gilkman"—later assumed to be a spy for the Russian KGB—had made plans to meet in Paris.

		Shortly afterward, Bloch, the head of the State Department's European section, was tipped off to the investigation by FBI counterintelligence specialist Robert Hanssen, the FBI says in an affidavit it filed last week.
		According to the affidavit and interviews with intelligence sources, the investigation of Bloch began in late April 1989 after he was detected on a wiretap talking to Reino Gikman, an undercover agent for the Soviet KGB who operated in Western Europe.
		The CIA, working with the French, proposed that Bloch be nabbed en route to the Paris meeting or during a second meeting scheduled with Gikman for Brussels later in May. A team was assembled and a plan was developed to grab Bloch off the street and confront him with evidence.

		A paper exploring the strong dispersion in one-dimensional periodic structures, illustrating for the first time the propagation of a Bloch wave pulse in a fibre Bragg grating, was published in 1991 [15].
		In two further studies this work was extended to the design of hexagonal photonic crystal films both as waveguides [19] and as high Q resonators [20].
		This was followed by the design of a quasi-metallic (sometimes known as omni-directional) multilayer structure that exhibited all the features of a photonic band gap material, providing strong suppression of spontaneous emission [24].

		According to a 1989 proposal calling for the tank's name change, Bloch's work on the theory of metals in 1929 laid the foundation for the development of semiconductors, which in turn led to the development of the transistor, the integrated circuit and, ultimately, the personal computer.

		What interests Chana Bloch is the inner life: how we are formed by our losses and our parents' losses, how we learn what we need to know through our intuitions and confusions, how we deny and delay and finally discover who we are.
		For even while Bloch offers us a chronicle of pain, she demonstrates that 'the end of safety' is the beginning of revelation and transformation, as 'Lightning flares at the windows / zinc-white' in a 'wind that can drive / a nail through a tree trunk.'"—Sandra Gilbert

		It was not until the arrival of Swiss physicist Felix Bloch, however, in 1934, that physics research at Stanford truly caught fire.
		A refugee from the Nazis, Bloch was only 28 years old when he answered David Webster's invitation to join the Stanford faculty.
		Encouraged initially by Enrico Fermi to do experimental physics because, among other things, it was "fun," in 1938 Bloch (in collaboration with Luis Alvarez) made the first experimental measurement of the magnetic moment of the neutron, marking the beginning of the work for which he is perhaps best known.
