||Carson Dunning Jeffries (b. March 22, 1922) was an American physicist. The National Academies Press said that Jeffries "made major fundamental contributions to knowledge of nuclear magnetism, electronic spin relaxation, dynamic nuclear polarization, electron-hole droplets, nonlinear dynamics and chaos, and high-temperature superconductors." He was noted for being the first to observe the isotropic spin-spin exchange interaction in metals (also known as the Ruderman-Kittel interaction). He also discovered methods for the dynamic nuclear polarization by saturation of forbidden microwave resonance transitions in solids. He also discovered the existence of giant electron-hole droplets in semiconductors.

||Hans Thirring (d. March 22, 1976) was an Austrian theoretical physicist, professor, and father of the physicist Walter Thirring. He won the Haitinger Prize of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 1920. Together with the mathematician Josef Lense, he is known for the prediction of the Lense–Thirring frame dragging effect of general relativity in 1918.
