| Title | Jones, Harry: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Dr.Jones' work on the theory of metals and alloys is well known, especially his explanation in 1934 of the Hume-Rothery rule for the electron-atom ratio of binary alloys, and his contributions to the theory of the magnetic properties of bismuth. He has also published a series of papers on the properties of liquid helium.
During and immediately after the war he carried out a number of fruitful and original investigations on the detonation of high explosives and the relations between detonation velocity and chemical properties and confinement.
More recently he has returned to the electron theory of alloys and made contributions relation to their crystal forms and elastic constants. |
