Popis: Albert W. Overhauser, one of the best known and beloved pioneers in the development of magnetic resonance, passed away peacefully on 10 December 2011. Born 17 August 1925 in San Diego, California, he attended high school in San Francisco. In 1942, he entered the University of California in Berkeley as a physics and mathematics major. He left college from 1942 to 1944 to serve in the United States Naval Reserve, training to be a radar repair specialist. Returning to college after the war, Overhauser graduated in 1948 and promptly entered Berkeley graduate school, also in physics. His thesis advisor, Charles Kittel, who was in the process of moving from Bell Labs to Berkeley, proposed as a thesis topic developing the theory of the spin–lattice relaxation time of the conduction electrons in metals. When Kittel finally arrived permanently at Berkeley in 1951, Overhauser
