Properties of Matter

The different states of matter have interesting and diverse properties, much like the diverse array of physicists who have historically studied them.

Crystals

Maria Goeppert Mayer - studied the lattice dynamics of crystals

K. S. Krishnan - made contributions to crystal magnetism

Jagadish Chandra Bose - worked on the polarisation of electric rays by crystals

Condensed Matter Physics

Deborah S. Jin - made the first sermonic condensate, a new form of matter

Spectroscopy

C.V. Raman - discovered Raman spectroscopy
