	Mark Oliphant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oliphant's contribution to this work was his discovery of helium 3 and tritium.
		In 1937 Oliphant was appointed Professor of Physics at the University of Birmingham.
		Oliphant's group at Birmingham included John Randall and Harry Boot who developed the resonant-cavity magnetron in 1940, achieving the wavelengths needed for airborne radar.

	Science Show - 22/07/2000: Sir Mark Oliphant
		Mark Oliphant: Well I came from what the Americans would call a do-gooder family, and was encouraged very much to attend church regularly, and I became an altar boy and indeed my father thought that I was going to become a Church of England clergyman.
		Mark Oliphant: Yes, the major thing was his portrait hanging on the first year lab, and there was downstairs a room where he'd done his measurements with a slate top table and so on, which was turned into a spectroscopic lab.
		Mark Oliphant: That was quite an adventure because one had to fly out in a converted Lancastrian bomber which was run by Imperial Airways as far as Karachi, and then changed over to either the same or a similar aircraft.

		Oliphant began his career at Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory under the direction of Lord Ernest Rutherford and was part of the team to first split the atom in 1932.
		Oliphant became a lifelong protestor against war and atomic weapons, and was in 1950 blocked from attending a Chicago conference on use of atomics.
		Oliphant held a number of honorary government offices and medals honoring his achievements in science, and was knighted in 1959.

		Oliphant's main contributions were the discovery of tritium, the third isotope of hydrogen, and the establishment of the reactions that take place at collisions between deuterons (the nuclei of the second isotope of hydrogen).
		It is the general opinion that this greatly contributed to the defeat of the Luftwaffe during the 1940 Battle of Britain, thus preventing Hitler's invasion of England.
		Oliphant vehemently opposed the use of the atom bomb on the Japanese cities.

	Marcus Oliphant
		Oliphant went on to design a large particle accelerator at Birmingham University, where he moved from Cambridge, and during the Second World War he made a major input into the development of centimetric radar, whose importance to the winning of the battle against the U-boats and in the bomber offensive against Germany was fundamental.
		Born in 1901 in Adelaide, Marcus Laurence Elwin Oliphant was educated at the University of Adelaide.
		Oliphant entered the field in England under the guidance of Ernest Rutherford, director of the famous Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University, where the atom was first split by artificially accelerated particles in 1932.

		Mark was a plain-speaking Australian so gives a warts and all account of someone he loved.
		Mark was inspired to want to work with Rutherford at the Cavendish after hearing him speak in Adelaide during the 1925 tour.
		Mark arrived in 1927, rising to be an Assistant Research Director and leaving to run a show of his own at Birmingham just before Rutherford's untimely death in 1937.

		As Professor of Physics at Birmingham University in 1939 he oversaw the invention of the cavity magnetron, which transformed radar from a passive, uncertain early warning device to a precision instrument capable, for example, of detecting a submarine periscope at night from the nose of an aeroplane.
		Oliphant was one of those who saw that microwave transmission was the answer and he set his researchers to work on the technology.
		Oliphant forwarded their memorandum to the government and took part in the subsequent "Maud Committee" which laid the groundwork for a British atomic bomb project.

	Bright Sparcs Online Exhibition: Sir Mark Oliphant
		Marcus Laurence Elwin Oliphant (known as Sir Mark Oliphant) is the eldest of five sons and was born in 1901 in Kent Town, near Adelaide, South Australia.
		Oliphant was interested in pursuing a career in medicine or chemistry, and in 1919 began studying at the University of Adelaide.
		During the war, Oliphant travelled back and forth between the USA and the UK, leading a team of British physicists who were collaborating with American scientists on the development of the atomic bomb.

		Oliphant's outstanding international reputation was based on his pioneering discoveries in nuclear physics in Cambridge in the 1930s and his remarkable contributions to wartime radar research and to the development of the atomic bomb.
		Mark began primary school at Goodwood at the age of 8, but not long afterwards the family moved to Mylor in the Adelaide Hills, which was, for Mark, a delightful place in which to grow and learn.
		Mark's research achievements had been rewarded, but no amount of financial success could make up for the loss of their three-year-old son, Geoffrey, who had died of meningitis in 1933 while Mark was travelling in Europe with his father.

		Oliphant too worked on the Manhattan Project as part of the British delegation.
		At the outbreak of war Oliphant was sent to the United States as part of the British team that helped to set up the Radiation Lab at Berkeley which eventually devised a system of microwave radar, improving on the work of Robert Watson-Watt in England.
		Both the Mark Oliphant Conservation Park and the Oliphant wing of the Physics Building at the University of Adelaide are named in his honour.

		Oliphant spoke up for J Robert Oppenheimer, the American nuclear scientist who became a victim of McCarthyism, and he marched in the streets against the Vietnam war.

		Marcus Laurence Elwin "Mark" Oliphant, a leader during World War II in both radar development and the separation of uranium-235 for the atomic bomb, died on 14 July 2000 in Canberra, Australia, of natural causes.
		Oliphant was born in Adelaide, South Australia, on 9 October 1901.
		When Oliphant visited the US in August, he found that the uranium committee secretary had simply locked the memo in his safe, telling nobody, because the US was "not at war." Oliphant found little interest in atomic bombs among the physicists, most thinking them improbable.

	Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, 435 U.S. 191, 98 S.Ct. 1011, 55 L.Ed.2d 209 (1978)
		Petitioner Mark David Oliphant was arrested by tribal authorities during the Suquamish's annual Chief Seattle Days celebration and charged with assaulting a tribal officer and resisting arrest.
		On August 24, 1976, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of habeas corpus in the case of petitioner Oliphant.
		As originally worded, the amendment would have provided for trial in the United States courts "and not otherwise." Apparently at the suggestion of Congressman Budd, who believed that concurrent jurisdiction in the courts of the United States was sufficient, the words "and not otherwise" were deleted when the amendment was later reintroduced.

		The papers cover the period 1927-1999 and include some records relating to Oliphant's period at Cambridge and his war-time work on radar, but principally document his career as Director of the School of Physical Sciences, A.N.U. (1950-1963), as Governor of South Australia (1971-1976) and subsequent to his retirement from public office.
		In general only confidential references and reports and correspondence between Sir Mark and others of an intensely personal nature or with comments on a third party or parties detrimental to their reputation or potentially actionable at law, has been thus restricted.
		Further files were received after Sir Mark's death from his daughter, some created entirely after 1983 but others of earlier date that had been retained by Sir Mark on the initial transfer of his papers. These have now been integrated in the interests of research access.
