Brebis Bleaney CBE
FRS (6 June 1916 – 4 November 2006) was a British physicist. His main area of research was the use of microwave techniques to study the magnetic properties of solids. He was head of the Clarendon Laboratory
at the University of Oxford
from 1957 to 1977. In 1992, Bleaney received the International Zavoisky
Award "for his contribution to the theory and practice of electron paramagnetic resonance
of transition ions in crystals."

Yevgeny Zavoisky
Yevgeny Konstantinovich Zavoisky was a Soviet physicist known for discovery of electron paramagnetic resonance in 1944. He likely observed nuclear magnetic resonance in 1941, well before Felix Bloch and Edward Mills Purcell, but dismissed the results as not reproducible...
