Mauskopf, Seymour H. (Author)
William Barlow (1845--1934) was an important if unconventional scientist, known for having developed the `closest-packing' atomic models of crystal structure. He resumed an early nineteenth-century tradition of utilizing crystallographical and chemical data to determine atomic arrangements in crystals. This essay recounts Barlow's career and scientific activity in three parts: (a) His place in the tradition of determining atomic arrangement in context of this earlier tradition and of contemporaneous developments of crystallography and chemistry, (b) his unconventional career, and (c) the `success' of his program to determine atomic arrangements in crystals and its influence on the work of William Lawrence Bragg.
