Lyman G. Parratt is an American physicist known for his contributions to the fields of condensed matter physics and materials science. He is particularly renowned for his work in the theory of scattering and the reflection of X-rays and neutrons from surfaces and interfaces. One of his most notable contributions is the development of Parratt's formalism. This formalism is a mathematical approach used to analyze X-ray and neutron reflectometry data, which helps in studying thin films and multilayers at the nanoscale.
