• After one year of studying engineering switched to physics
• 1928-received degree of Doctor of Philosophy in
• 1934-accepted job position offered at Stanford University

• Realized the magnetic moment of the neutrons could be obtained through observation of scattering iron
• 1936- wrote paper that worked out details of phenomenon
• Led experiment, carried out with L.W. Alvarez at the Berkeley cyclotron

• was engaged in the early stages of work on atomic energy at Stanford University
• new method: combining it with essential elements of earlier work on magnetic moment of the neutron, to remeasure this important quantity
• 1946-Bloch & E.Purcell independently introduced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

• His more recent theoretical work dealt primarily with problems which have arisen in conjunction with experiments carried out in his laboratory
• 1961-received an endowed Chair by appointment as Max Stein

• 1954-Bloch took leave of absence to serve one year as first Director General of CERN
• return to Stanford University & continued his investigations on nuclear magnetism

• investigations begun after return to Stanford in the fall of 1945
• resulted shortly afterward in collaboration with W.W. Hansen and M.E. Packard
• new method of nuclear induction, a purely electromagnetic procedure for the study of nuclear moments in solids, liquids, or gases

• Bloch married in 1940 Dr. Lore Misch
• Dr. Lore Misch was a refugee from Germany
• Died September 10, 1983 in Zurich
