Charles Glover Barkla (1877–1944) was a British physicist known for his work in the field of X-ray spectroscopy. He is particularly recognized for his discovery of characteristic X-rays, which are specific to the elements and provide important information about the composition of materials. In 1917, Barkla was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his experiments demonstrating the existence of X-ray properties related to the atomic structure of elements.
