A theoretical condensed matter physicist who calculated the energy bands of graphite using the tight-binding approximation. His 1947 analysis connected the layered structure to strongly direction-dependent transport and magnetic response. Modeling how electronic states spread between neighboring atoms made the bulk behavior accessible from a relatively simple lattice description.[ref]
