Anthony Schuyler Arrott (born April 1, 1928) is an American-born Canadian physicist, Professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University. He is a specialist in condensed matter physics, physics of magnetism and liquid crystals. He is the author of over 200 scientific papers.[1] Arrott is the subject of the 2020 documentary Portrait, directed by Lily Ekimian and A.T. Ragheb.[2]
Research area[]
In 1957, he suggested a straightforward criterion for ferromagnetism from observations of magnetic isotherms.[3] This method was called Arrott plots.[4][5] In collaboration with Murray J. Press, he gave a description of surface singularities in liquid-crystal droplets.[6] A lot of works are devoted to the properties of ferromagnetic samples (for example the so-called Arrott's cylinder[7]) with micrometer and sub-micrometer sizes.[8][9][10] Commissioned in 1978, Arrott designed the Thermal Neutron Facility at the TRIUMF cyclotron.[1]
