He was distinguished for his contributions to the use of neutron- scattering methods for the study of the structure of crystals and liquids. He combined great theoretical understand- ing of the properties of atoms when irradiated by beams of neutrons with imaginative use and sophisticated de- velopment of the technique to obtain new understanding of the structure of molecular crystals and the structure and dynamics of adsorbed monolayers.
