Adolf Gustav Stephan Smekal (12 September 1895 – 7 March 1959) was an Austrian theoretical physicist, with interests in solid state physics,[1] known for the prediction of the inelastic scattering of photons (the Raman effect).[2]
Adolf Smekal studied at the Vienna College of Technology (1912–1913), received his doctorate from the University of Graz (1913–1917), and then studied at the University of Berlin (1917–1919).
