== Early life and career ==
'''Harry Suhl''' is a German-anmerican physicist. He was born in Leipzig, Germany, on October 18, 1922. He received a B.Sc. degree from the University of Wales in 1943, and a PhD degree in theoretical physics from Oriel College, University of Oxford, in 1948.
Suhl was born in Leipzig, Germany, on October 18, 1922. He received a B.Sc. degree from the [[University of Wales]] in 1943, and a Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics from [[Oriel College, Oxford|Oriel College]] of the [[University of Oxford]], in 1948.
In 1948, he joined the technical staff of [[Bell Telephone Laboratories]] at Murray Hill, New Jersey, where he remained until, in 1960. he was appointed Professor of Physics at the [[University of California, San Diego]]; he became Professor of Physics, Emeritus, in 1991.


In 1948, he joined the [[Bell Telephone Laboratories]] at [[Murray Hill, New Jersey]]. In 1960, he was appointed Professor of Physics at the [[University of California, San Diego]] (UCSD) and was promoted to Professor Emeritus in 1991. He was Chairman of the Physics Department of UCSD from 1965 to 1968 and again from 1972 to 1975, and was Director of the university's Institute for Pure and Applied Physical Sciences from 1980 to 1991.
==Research==


Suhl served on the board of editors for ''[[Physical Review]]'' ('55-'76) and [[Solid State Communications]] ('61-'90), and was coeditor of several standard treatises: ''Magnetism, a Treatise on Modern Theory and Materials ''(with G.T. Rado, Academic Press, New York, 5 volumes, '63-'72), ''Superconductivity in d- and f-Band Metals'' (with M.B. Maple, Academic Press, New York, 1980) and ''Many Body Phenomena at Surfaces'' (with D.C. Langreth, Academic Press, New York, 1984).{{Citation needed|date=August 2020}}
With William Shockley in 1948, Suhl contributed to fundamental aspects of charge carried dynamics in
semiconductors. In 1953, he and Larry R. Walker developed a detailed analysis of wave propagation in
waveguides loaded with gyromagnetic and gyroelectric media, pertaining to certain microwave devices. Suhl
gave the definitive explanation of nonlinear effects in ferromagnetic resonance (the Suhl instability) in '55/,56,
a subject that has recently proliferated. The principles involved led Suhl to patent a ferromagnetic parametric
amplifier in 1956. This work stimulated wide utilization of parametric amplification, in general. In 1957, Suhl,
and, independently, T. Nakamura, uncovered a major source of broadening of nuclear magnetic resonance
lines in magnetically ordered media (the Suhl-Nakamura interaction).

two-band model). In 1965, the and, independently, A.A. Abrikosov, resolved apparent divergences in the
calculated properties of dilute magnetic alloys, attributing them to a particular resonance (the Abrikosov-
Suhl resonance). In the 1970's and 80's he worked in surface physics and catalysis and studied
reaction kinetics, in circumstances in which the traditional Kramers-Eyring approach fails. He continues to
lead an active research group, including PhD students, at UCSD.

Harry Suhl (October 18, 1922 — March 3, 2020) was a German-American physicist who specialized in statistical mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and solid-state physics, and in particular superconductivity.[1] Various phenomena in his field of work have been named after him, such as the Suhl instability,[2] Suhl–Nakamura interaction[3] and Abrikosov–Suhl resonance.[4] He died in March 2020 at the age of 97.[5]

Early life and career[edit]

Suhl was born in Leipzig, Germany, on October 18, 1922. He received a B.Sc. degree from the University of Wales in 1943, and a Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics from Oriel College of the University of Oxford, in 1948.

In 1948, he joined the Bell Telephone Laboratories at Murray Hill, New Jersey. In 1960, he was appointed Professor of Physics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and was promoted to Professor Emeritus in 1991. He was Chairman of the Physics Department of UCSD from 1965 to 1968 and again from 1972 to 1975, and was Director of the university's Institute for Pure and Applied Physical Sciences from 1980 to 1991.

Suhl served on the board of editors for Physical Review ('55-'76) and Solid State Communications ('61-'90), and was coeditor of several standard treatises: Magnetism, a Treatise on Modern Theory and Materials (with G.T. Rado, Academic Press, New York, 5 volumes, '63-'72), Superconductivity in d- and f-Band Metals (with M.B. Maple, Academic Press, New York, 1980) and Many Body Phenomena at Surfaces (with D.C. Langreth, Academic Press, New York, 1984).[citation needed]

Scientific contributions[edit]

Several phenomena Suhl discovered or explained have been named after him. His explanation of nonlinear effects in ferromagnetic resonance in known as the Suhl instability, and one of the major sources of broadening of nuclear magnetic resonance lines in magnetically ordered media is known as the Suhl–Nakamura interaction. A particular divergence in the calculated properties of dilute magnetic alloys is known as the Abrikosov–Suhl resonance.
