  Ralph H. Fowler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Ralph Howard Fowler FRS (January 17, 1889 – July 28, 1944) was a British physicist and astronomer.
Fowler was initially educated at home but then attended Evans' preparatory school at Horris Hill and the Winchester College.
Fowler then won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge and read mathematics becoming a wrangler in Part II of the Tripos.

Fowler's range of interests kept him going throughout the next two decades as he produced papers on spectroscopy, physical chemistry, what is now known as condensed matter physics (or solid state physics), and magnetism in materials.
It was Fowler who ultimately introduced Paul Dirac to the burgeoning field of quantum theory in 1923 leading Dirac to the forefront of its ultimate discovery in 1925.
Fowler's genius was in his ability to apply intense mathematical rigour to a variety of physical problems.

It was then that he was intrigued by Ralph H. Fowler's work on the constitution of white dwarf stars.
To his great surprise, he found that this combination predicted that white dwarfs could only exist up to a certain limiting mass, which depended chiefly on fundamental constants such as h, G and the mass of the hydrogen atom; the mass was about 1.45 times the mass of the Sun.
Chandra was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1983 along with William A Fowler of Caltech for theoretical studies of the physical processes important to the structure and evolution of stars.

Alfred Fowler (March 22 1868 – June 24 1940) was a British astronomer.
He was an expert in spectroscopy, being one of the first to determine that the temperature of sunspots was cooler than that of surrounding regions.
A crater on the Moon is jointly named after him and Ralph H. Fowler.

Upon graduation, on the basis of this paper, he was accepted as a research student by Fowler at the University of Cambridge.
Fowler was so pleased with it that he offered to communicate it to the Royal Society for publication in its Proceedings; the second paper appeared in Philosophical Magazine.
Later in the 1930s he made another important discovery at Cambridge: Fowler, Edward A. Milne and others were not able to grasp the reality and implication of this fundamental result.

Ralph H. Fowler, who taught at Cambridge in the 1930s, married Rutherford's only daughter, and first introduced Dirac to quantum theory by providing him with the galley proofs of Heinsenberg's famous "matrix article" of 1925, which led to Dirac's discovery of Poisson-bracket relations.

The Fowler Nordheim Law The Fowler-Nordheim Law explaining field emission as a quantum effect became the basis for research on FEDs.
He noticed that the arcs occurred only when certain currents and voltages were reached. Ralph H. Fowler was Professor of Physics at Cambridge University and Lothar W. Nordheim had a research position there in 1928 when the two published an article that explained the arcing at Rocky Point in terms of quantum mechanics.
The theoretical work of Fowler and Nordheim and the experimental work of Mueller paved the way for the work of Spindt and his colleagues at SRI and for all subsequent efforts to fabricate field emission displays.
