Authored over 200 works
Introduced the concept of residual permeability
Proposed the law of reversible permeability
Presented the first treatment of quantitative significance of elastic tension upon magnetization
Performed theoretical and experimental studies about radiation absorption in solutions and determined the size of scattered particles in solutions that earned him international fame

With R. G. Loyarte gave the first qualitative theoretical explanation about ferromagnetic resonance absorption in Ann. Physik 64(4):209, 1921
Developed a special ultrafiltration method with collodium/acetic acid filter
Demonstrated the depolarization degree constant of colloidal particles
Deduced the formula relating depolarization degree and Kerr constant for colloidal particles
Gave a simple deduction of eikonal theory
With A. Pereyra Miguez proposed a thermodynamical integrator
