Kariamanikkam Srinivasa Krishnan, Indian physicist (Vizhupanoor Village, Ramnad District, Tamil Nadu 04 December 1898 – New Delhi 14 June 1961) ACHIEVEMENTS Authored 135 papers Discovered with C.V. Raman and independently from Landsberg & Mandelshtam inelastic scattering of light or Raman effect With C.V. Raman. A new type of secondary radiation. Nature 31, 1928 Developed techniques for measuring the magnetic anisotropy of dia- and paramagnetic crystals Showed how the magnetic properties of many aromatic molecular crystals and of inorganic complexes reflect molecular anisotropies, bonding and crystal field effects Mapped the energy distribution of electrons in graphite crystals With A.B. Bhatia introduced a new formalism of treating the electrical potentials in metals and alloys popularized by Ziman many years later and known as Ziman formalism Obtained Krishnan-Bhatia formula on electron transport in alloys Developed Krishnan flip-angle method With B.C. Guha & S. Banerjee. Phil. Trans. Roy Soc. London A 231:235, 1933 Developed critical torque method for measuring of magnetic anisotropy of single crystals and built a very simple instrument for this purpose With S. Banerjee. Investigations on Magne-Crystallic Action. III. Further Studies on Organic Crystals. Phil. Trans. A 234:265-98, 1935 Solved the theoretical problem of correlating magnetic susceptibility and the anisotropies with those of their constituent ions or molecules With K. Lonsdale. Diamagnetic anisotropy of crystals in relation to their molecular structure. Proc. Roy. Soc. A 156:597-613, 1936 Developed a method of finding the molecular orientations in crystals of aromatic substances Discovered quasi 2 dimensional electron transport Discovered Landau diamagnetism in graphite HONORS Vice-President, International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (1955-7) Physics Nobel Prize nominee
