Alfred G. Redfield
Alfred G. Redfield (March 11, 1929 – July 24, 2019) was an American physicist and biochemist. In 1955 he published the Redfield relaxation theory, effectively moving the practice of NMR or Nuclear magnetic resonance from the realm of classical physics to the realm of semiclassical physics. He is known for the development of Redfield equation. He continued to find novel magnetic resonance applications to solve real-world problems throughout his life. Redfield earned degrees at Harvard College (BA 1950, Master's 1952) and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (Ph.D. 1953). As a post-doc he worked with Nicolaas Bloembergen at Harvard, where he first published the Redfield relaxation theory. IBM Watson Scientific Computing Laboratory hired him in 1955 and he taught at Columbia University, Columbia.While there he published his most important work, the Redfield Relaxation Equation. In 1971 he published experiments that helped to draw ...
