Ernst Ising
Ernst Ising (; May 10, 1900 – May 11, 1998) was a German physicist, who is best remembered for the development of the Ising model. He was a professor of physics at Bradley University until his retirement in 1976. Life Ernst Ising was born in Cologne in 1900. Ernst Ising's parents were the merchant Gustav Ising and his wife Thekla Löwe. After school, he studied physics and mathematics at the University of Göttingen and University of Hamburg. In 1922, he began researching ferromagnetism under the guidance of Wilhelm Lenz. He earned a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Hamburg in 1924 when he published his doctoral thesis (an excerpt or a summary of his doctoral thesis was published as an article in a scientific journal in 1925 and this has led many to believe that he published his full thesis in 1925, see,). His doctoral thesis studied a problem suggested by his teacher, Wilhelm Lenz. He investigated the special case of a linear chain of magnetic moments, which are o ...

Gustav Ising
Gustaf Adolf Ising (; 19 February 1883 - 5 February 1960) was a Swedish metrologist, geophysicist, and accelerator physicist. Biography Ising earned his first academic degree (''filosofie kandidat''/Bachelor of Arts) at Uppsala University in 1903 and continued studying at Stockholm University receiving his Ph.D. in 1919, and receiving an honorary professor title in 1934. He is best known for the invention of the linear accelerator concept in 1924, which is the progenitor of all modern accelerators based on oscillating electromagnetic fields. His article was then taken up and turned into practice by Rolf Widerøe, also starting the development of cyclic accelerator structures like the cyclotron. He was elected to the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1935, being a member of the Nobel Committee for Physics from 1947 to 1953, together with former Nobel laureate and chairman Manne Siegbahn, Svante Arrhenius Svante August Arrhenius ( , ; 19 February 1859 – 2 October 1927) was a ...

Jane Ising
Johanna "Jane" Ising (born ''Johanna annchenEhmer'' on February 2, 1902, in Berlin; died February 2, 2012, in Matteson, Illinois) was a German-American economist. Life Ising studied economics at the Friedrich-Wilhelm University Berlin and received her doctorate in 1926 with a thesis on "''The Problem of Unemployment in England after 1920''". On December 23, 1930, she married physicist Ernst Ising; they lived in Caputh, Brandenburg, next to the famous summer residence of the Einstein family. In 1938, the Jewish boarding school in Caputh, where Johanna and Ernst Ising worked as teachers, was destroyed by National Socialists; in 1939, the Isings emigrated to Luxembourg. After the German occupation of Luxembourg, Ernst Ising was forced to perform labor in the army. In 1939 their son Tom was born in Luxembourg.
