Paul Heinrich Von Groth
Paul Heinrich Ritter von Groth (23 June 1843 – 2 December 1927) was a German mineralogist. His most important contribution to science was his systematic classification of minerals based on their chemical compositions and crystal structures. Biography He was born at Magdeburg, and educated at Freiberg, Dresden and Berlin, and received the doctorate degree in 1868. After lecturing at the Freiberg mining school and at the University of Berlin, in 1872 he became professor of mineralogy at Strasbourg. In 1883, he was appointed professor of mineralogy and curator of minerals in the Deutsches Museum in Munich. He died in Munich. Work He carried out extensive research on crystals and minerals, and also on rocks. von Groth published ''Tabellarische Übersicht der einfachen Mineralien'' (1874-1898) and ''Physikalische Krystallographie'' (1876-1895, ed. 4, 1905), the latter of which was influential with the acceptance of crystallographic methods in the field of organic chemistry.

Leonhard Sohncke
Leonhard Sohncke (22 February 1842 Halle – 1 November 1897 in Munich) was a German mathematician who classified the 65 space groups in which chiral crystal structures form, called Sohncke groups. He was a professor of physics at the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe (now called the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) from 1871 to 1883, at Jena from 1883 to 1886, and at the Technical University of Munich from 1886 to 1897. His father Ludwig Adolph Sohncke (1807-1853) was professor of mathematics at the University of Halle. He published several books, including ''Geschichte der geometrie, hauptsachlich mit bezug auf die neueren methoden'' in 1839, a translation of ''Aperçu historique sur l’origine et la dévelopement des méthodes en géométrie'' (1837) by Michel Chasles.

University Of Strasbourg Faculty
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university ...

Ralph Walter Graystone Wyckoff
Ralph Walter Graystone Wyckoff, Sr. (August 9, 1897 in Geneva, New York – November 3, 1994 in Tucson, Arizona) was an American scientist and pioneer of X-ray crystallography. He was elected member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1949 and Foreign member of the Royal Society, on April 19, 1951. Biography He was the son of judge Abram Ralph Wyckoff and Ethel Agnes Catchpole. He studied at Hobart College, where he made Bachelor of Science in 1916, continued at Cornell University, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1919. In 1916, he published his first scientific paper (of more than 400) at the age of nineteen in the ''Journal of the American Chemical Society''. Under Shoji Nishikawa, he presented his thesis about the crystallographic resolution of the structures of NaNO3 and CsICl2 in 1919. He continued working in X-ray crystallography and wrote several books about the topic. Wyckoff's 1922 book, ''The Analytical Expression of the Results of the Theory of Space Groups'', con ...

William Barlow (geologist)
William Barlow FRS (8 August 1845 – 28 February 1934) was an English amateur geologist specialising in crystallography. He was born in Islington, in London, England. His father became wealthy as a speculative builder as well as a building surveyor, allowing William to have a private education. After his father died in 1875, William and his brother inherited this fortune, allowing him to pursue his interest in crystallography without a need to labour for a living. William examined the forms of crystalline structures, and deduced that there were only 230 forms of symmetrical crystal arrangements, known as space groups. His results were published in 1894, after they had been independently announced by Evgraf Fedorov and Arthur Schönflies, although his approach did display some novelty. His structural models of simple compounds such as NaCl and CsCl were later confirmed using X-ray crystallography. He served as the president of the English Mineralogical Society from 1915 un ...
