Theodore Henry Geballe (January 20, 1920 – October 23, 2021) was an American physicist who was a professor of applied physics at Stanford University.
[2] While still an undergraduate student at Berkeley, Geballe worked in William Giauque's lab to accurately measure the specific heat of gold.
Geballe served as the head of the department of applied physics at Stanford from 1975 to 1977, and was the director of the Center for Materials Research from 1978 to 1988.
[4] Geballe, along with Bernd Matthias won the 1970 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize awarded by the American Physical Society "for experiments that challenged theoretical understanding and opened up the technology of high-field superconductors."
Geballe also won the 1991 von Hippel award by the Materials Research Society, and was made a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1973.
