Originally done with (neutral) <silver> atoms in 1921, but even clearer theoretically was the <hydrogen> reproduction in 1927 by T. E. Phipps and J. B. Taylor.
The <hydrogen> experiment was apparently harder to do and the result is less visible, TODO why: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/33021/why-silver-atoms-were-used-in-stern-gerlach-experiment
