Yves Ayant (born on January 6, 1926 - June 8, 2016) was a French theoretical physicist and professor of at the University of Grenoble.
Life
[edit]Ayant studied at the École normale supérieure (Paris) from 1946 and received his doctorate from the Sorbonne in 1954 with a dissertation on nuclear physics entitled Contribution à l'étude des formes et largeurs de raies dans les résonances nucléaires.[1] He was Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Grenoble until 1994.[1]
As a theoretical physicist, he dealt with magnetism, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance and nuclear quadrupole resonance.[1] This corresponded to the experimental orientation of the University of Grenoble under Louis Néel as a center of magnetism research in France. He was the "in-house theorist" at the Laboratoire de Spectrométrie Physique (now Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Physique, LIPhy) headed by Michel Soutif, whose aim was to study matter using a broad repertoire of spectroscopic techniques. He received the first Paul Langevin Prize in 1957.[1]
